Probabilities are calculated for two fathers that contribute equally (0.5, 0.5), and unequally (skewed, 0.667, 0.333). Three different sets of offspring sample sizes (N = 10, 20, 50) are evaluated. Calculations were carried out for each year separately (1999/2000).
*Indicates the two combinations used in this study.
