A small population of horse-like animals have been removed from a large population of the same creatures and moved to a small island many miles away. The environment of this island is slightly different from the mainland: temperatures are cooler, and the only food source is a fruit that turns bright red when ripe and is located higher up in the trees. The island is only a few square kilometers, and there are no natural enemies.

After many generations, you return back to the island and examine that the population has physically changed as a result of being moved to a new environment. Examine each of the possible alleles for the traits below.

Choose an allele for each trait that you believe the animals will possess and explain why you chose that answer.

One trait 3-4 sentences

Have you ever been through a change initiative (large or small) at your place of work?...
Have you ever been through a change initiative (large or small) at your place of work? Please describe briefly how the process went. Do you think it could have been done differently, and if so, what would you have done? Offer suggestions to your classmates for ways that you might have approached their changes. If you do not work, you may use a change you experienced in another environment.

Two independent samples have been selected, 67 observations from population 1 and 94 observations from population 2. The sample means have been calculated to be x¯1 = 9.9 and x¯2 = 10.2.

Suppose that for years the mean of population 1 has been accepted as the same as the mean of population 2, but that now population 1 is believed to have a greater mean than population 2. Letting α = 0.05 and assuming the populations have equal variances and x is approximately normally distributed, use the following data to test this belief. Sample 1: 43.6, 45.2, 43.4, 49.1, 45.2, 45.6, 40.8, 46.5, 48.3, 45.6    Sample 2: 40.1, 36.0, 42.2, 42.3,...
