An article included data from a survey of 2769 hiring managers and human resource professionals. The article noted that many employers are using social networks to screen job applicants and that this practice is becoming more common. Of the 2769 people who participated in the survey, 1200 indicated that they use social networking sites (such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn) to research job applicants. For the purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample is representative of hiring managers and human resource professionals.

a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of hiring managers and human resource professionals who use social networking sites to research job applicants. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(_________ , __________)

b) Interpret the interval.

We are __________ % confident that the proportion of all hiring managers and human resource professionals who use social networking sites to research job applicants is within this confidence interval.

1) Human history is full of examples of adaptability and innovation. Some observers believe that predictions of climate impact do not take human adaptability into account, and so climate impacts tend to be overestimated. Do you agree?

2) As other countries rush to compete in the global market, their greenhouse gas emissions rise rapidly as well. Leaders in developing countries argue that they should have the same opportunities to grow and compete that the developed world enjoyed. What strategies and approaches could induce developing nations to reduce their emissions?

3)Material continually cycles in the natural world, where waste from one organism or process becomes food for another. If that is so, what prevents humans from taking advantage of the potential value in human biological waste?

4)List several human impacts on the health of the oceans. Describe how elements of your life connect to each impact.

6. Which of the following statements are accurate?
A. In an average, healthy human, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is usually higher in the blood in systemic veins than the alveoli
B. In an average, healthy human, the partial pressure of oxygen is usually higher in the systemic veins than the alveoli
C. In average, healthy human, the partial pressure of oxygen is usually higher in the systemic arteries than in the body tissues
D. Generally speaking, gases will diffuse down their pressure gradient
E. In an average, healthy human, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is usually higher in the body tissues than the systemic arteries.

7. Which of the following statements are accurate?
A. Humans bring air into their lungs by generating a positive pressure (higher pressure relative to the atmosphere)
B. When the diaphragm contracts it becomes dome-shaped and causes the lung to decrease in volume which decreases the pressure of air in the lungs.
C. In a close chamber (such as the lungs), As the volume of a gas increases the pressure decreases
D. The diaphragm is the primary breathing muscles in humans
E. In human lungs, new air mixes with air in the lungs already. This decreases the efficiency of ventilation

If hemoglobin has a mutation of the following amino acid residues: His 2, His 143, and Lys 82 which have caused them to be changed to aspartic acid residues, how does this alter hemoglobin’s function? Specifically discuss how this could affect binding with the expected ligand at this site (name this ligand and describe if this interaction be stronger or weaker) and the overall effect to oxygen binding capacity and affinity these mutations have relative to the wild type hemoglobin sequence

1a.) Explain the Wobble hypothsis.

My answer-> The wobble hypothesis explains why there are more than one codons coding a single amino acid.

b.) How is translation initiated? ( Make sure to include the necessary components, including sequences, in your answer)

my answer -> The small ribosomal subunit binds to the mRNA. The tRNA bearing methionine binds to the start codon. The large ribosomal subunit binds to the small one. The start codon signals the start of translation.
