Exercise 2: Gestation Times The Biology Data Book reports that
the gestation time for human babies averages 278 days with a
standard deviation of 12 days. Suppose that these gestation times
are normally distributed.
1. Find the upper and lower quartiles for the gestation
times.
2. Would it be unusual to deliver a baby after only six months
of gestation? Explain.
3. Find the number of days such that 90% of babies have
gestation times less than or equal to...
stat question and please explain, thank you
A fair die is tossed two times independently: let W denote the
product of the outcomes. Find the probability that W = 6.
Pregnancy Questions:
A) Where would you expect to find aromatase in the
fetal-placental unit?
Select one:
a. Syncytiotrophoblast cells
b. Cytotrophoblast cells

fetus
B) Match the structure with the cells or groups of cells from
which it develops.
Structures:
- yolk sac
- amnion
- nervous system
- embryo as a whole

QUESTION 3
(A) In dairy production, what do you understand by the term
‘lactation cycle’? (1 Mark)
(B) Mention the four (04) phases of the lactation cycle and
highlight the specific time periods when these phases occur in
dairy cows (4 Marks)
(C) Explain how milk production varies in the different phases
of the lactation cycle (4 Marks)
(D) Relate the milk production to the feed intake and body
weight of the dairy cow during the four phases of the...
A pet store wants to compare day versus evening visiting times
to determine when is a more popular time for their Siamese cat
exhibit. They randomly observed people viewing the exhibit and
noted 30 visitors stayed for an average of 15 minutes with a
standard deviation of 3.1 during the day. During the evening, 26
visitors stayed for an average of 9 minutes with a standard
deviation of 2.0. Assuming a normal distribution, determine if
there is a significant difference...
Sex determination in Mammals. You have
identified a gene that you have named “mont1” (for ‘make
ovaries not testes’) that is expressed at the time when the
bipotential gonad becomes specified to become an ovary. Because of
this “show it” evidence that mont1 is expressed in the
right place at the right time, you hypothesize that mont1
is a critical regulator of the female primary sex determination
pathway to specify ovary development.
From what you know about the primary sex...
Researchers compared the reaction times in people who were
sleep deprived versus people who had gotten a full night's rest.
The following are typical data showing the reaction time scores (in
seconds) for two groups (samples) of participants.
