Solution to PS 7 #10


The chances of finding an A is  0.5(0.64)= 0.32
The chances of finding a T is  0.5(0.64)=0.32
The chances of finding a G is  0.5(0.36)=0.18
The chances of finding a C is  0.5(0.36)=0.18

The overall chance of finding AAGCTT in a 100 Mb DNA is 100,000,000/((0.32)(0.32)(0.18)(0.18)(0.32)(0.32))=33,979 times.
