While walking by the park one afternoon, you notice that there are 11 people on the playground: 3 of them are adult males, 4 of them are adult females, 3 of them are male children, and 1 of them is a female child. Two of these individuals are randomly selected and X is defined to be the number of children while Y is the number of females.
a) The covariance of X and Y is σXY?
b) The expected number of females selected given that one child is selected is E[Y|1]?
c) The conditional variance of Y given X=1 is σ2Y|1?

Assume 11 males audition, one of them being Winston, 5 females audition, one of them being Margaret, and 4 children audition. The casting director has 3 male roles available, 1 female role available, and 2 child roles available. How many different ways can these roles be filled if exactly one of Winston and Margaret gets a part? What is the probability (if the roles are filled at random) of both Winston and Margaret getting a part?

Suppose you are an average household in a developing nation. You are always trying to maximize your happiness (utility) by choosing the best possible combination of "food" (X) and number of children (C): max U U,X Your choices of food and children are of course constrained by your level of income in any given period: Ye Pix PcC. The price of food (P) is 1 and the "price" of raising children (Pc) is...

a) You reason that this is because experience is related to "on
the job training." One frequently used measure for (potential)
experience is "Age-Education-6." This means subtracting years of
education minus 6. Explain the underlying rationale.
b) Assuming, heroically, that education is constant across the
1,744 individuals, you consider regressing earnings on age and a
binary variable for gender. You estimate two specifications
initially:

please answer as much of the questions as you can and not only
one question:
1. What is the pseudoautosomal region?
The region on the Y chromosome where the male-determining gene
is found
The region on the X chromosome where the female-determining gene
is found
A region on the Y chromosome where the gene, when mutated,
causes androgen insensitivity syndrome
A region at which the X and Y chromosomes both have copies of
the same genes
A region at which...
You have a cup of beans in front of you with 20 white beans and 24 red beans. These beans represent the alleles for a simple Mendelian trait, where red is dominant (R) and white is recessive (r). In 1997, a self-isolated group of people living on a small island was joined by a group of explorers from a nearby island. STEP 1. Create the original, self-isolated population. The self-isolated population consists of six males. Three of them are homozygous...
Question 1. [11X2=22 pts) A household survey enumerated 25,450 population from a sample of 3,275 households in a city. Among the enumerated population 12,895 were males and the rest were females. Of the total population, 30% were females aged 15-49 years and 10% were children aged 0-4 years. Overall, 420 people died in a year in the population. There were 8,145 children under age 15 years, 10,456 persons between age 15-64 and the rest were aged person of age 65...
7. Tra diploid organism has the genotype AABh, what% of its gametes would you expect to have the genotype A (assume that A/a locus and B/blocus are found on different chromosomes)? a) 1598 b) 2596 c) 5096 d) 7546 8. Phenylketonuria is an inherited human genetic disorder resulting from a mutation to the PAH gene. Individuals with mutant forms of the PAW gene exhibit leaming deficits, abnormal skin pigmentation, as well as heart problems. This is an example of: a)...
the two cream colored guinea pigs produced, in one case, 22 yellow. 47cream, and 19 white. What type of inheritance is this? II. Sex-linked Characteristics 12. In man, colorblindness, an inability to distinguish between red and green, is inherited as a sex-linked character on the X chromosome. It is recessive. If a colorblind man marries a homozygous normal woman what chance is there for the children of being colorblind? If a normal man marries a colorblind woman. where will colorblindness...
Q5. You also want to determine the genotype of your parental pea plants based on the color of the plant (green is dominant to albino). One of your pea plants is green and the other is albino. What could you do to determine the genotype for color of each of your pea plants? 13 Q6. Based on the information you added to Table 8.2, explain why autosomal recessive traits can skip generations but autosomal dominant traits generally do not. /2...
