Abstract:
Aim: To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 19 STR loci in the Teochew population of Chaozhou. Subjects and methods: Nineteen STR loci of 631 unrelated Teochew people in Chaozhou were detected by using the AGCU Expressmarker 20 kit. Results: The allele frequency ranged from 0.0008-0.5577. The combined power of discrimination and combined probability of excluding paternity is over 0.999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 and 0.999,999,992,549,546, respectively. The principal component analysis based on the 11 shared STR loci showed the Teochew population was most genetically related to the Fujian Han population. Conclusion: The results demonstrate the set of 19 autosomal STRs could provide robust genetics information for individual identification, paternity testing and human genetics research in the Teochew population.

Testing a Claim about Mean: Known Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be distributed normally. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. The sample size needed to be higher than 30, and most importantly, the population standard deviation should be already known.
In most realistic situations, the population standard deviation is often unknown, but in rare circumstances, when it...
