The Dunkers of Pennsylvania are members of a religious sect, about 50 of whom emigrated from Germany in the early 1700's. They have remained relatively isolated ever since. The frequency of blood group A in this small group is around 60% while in German and American populations generally, the frequency is 40%. The AB(IB) allele is absent in the Dunkers but comprises about 15% of the alleles in both German and American populations. Construct an inference to account for the differences in gene frequencies among the Dunkers as compared to American and German populations.

Assume you are the owner of a very large soybean farm in Argentina, a country located in South-Eastern South America. Soybean is a commodity which is traded globally. 70% of all soybeans are used as chicken and pig feed. It has been widely recognised as a very efficient source of protein and energy. Another use for soybeans is splitting (or crushing) it up into soybean meal and soybean oil – 80% becomes the meal and 20% the oil. Much soybeans are grown in South America (~31% of world total in Brazil, ~18% in Argentina), and demandfor the soybean, soybean meal and soybean oil is growing very fast in Asia (especially China). One day, you received an unexpected and peculiar call from Zambia (a landlocked nation in Africa). The person over the line identified himself as a procurement officer of Livingstone International. He spoke fluent Spanish and asked if you can sell him two shipments of unprocessed soybeans. His request is large enough to clear out 80% of your annual harvest. The issue is you have never sold on the international front as you have always sold your harvest to the domestic merchants. Question 1 As the owner of the soybean farm in Argentina, you have never sold on the international front.

1. Research and briefly explain all the possible risks involved if your soybean farm is expanding into global trade. [Hint: Please organise all your research materials into FIVE (5) categories of risks. It is expected to be between 1 and 2 pages for this question.]

A.) Weatherwise is a magazine published by the American Meteorological Society. One issue gives a rating system used to classify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England and can cause much damage near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of ? = 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a reading of 33 waves showed an average wave height of

x = 16.5 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that ? = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use ? = 0.01.

B.) A random sample of 46 adult coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be x = 2.05 years, with sample standard deviation s = 0.82 years. However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is ? = 1.75. Do the sample data indicate that coyotes in this region of northern Minnesota tend to live longer than the average of 1.75 years? Use ? = 0.01.

C.) Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna). Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows.

3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1

The sample mean is x = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and ? = 0.70 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is ? = 4.45 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.45 grams? Use ? = 0.10.

D.) Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 46 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.4 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 3.5 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05.

E.) Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of

? = 8.0 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 36 tests gave a sample mean of x = 7.1 ppb arsenic, with s = 2.1 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use ? = 0.01.

The sample mean is x ? 93.3. Let x be a random variable representing glucose readings taken from Gentle Ben. We may assume that x has a normal distribution, and we know from past experience that ? = 12.5. The mean glucose level for horses should be ? = 85 mg/100 ml. Do these data indicate that Gentle Ben has an overall average glucose level higher than 85? Use ? = 0.05.

Suppose that a female patient has taken six laboratory blood tests over the past several months and that the RBC count data sent to the patient's doctor are as follows.

The cash account for Coastal Bike Co. at October 1, 20Y9, indicated a balance of $5,140. During October, the total cash deposited was $39,175, and checks written totaled $40,520. The bank statement indicated a balance of $8,980 on October 31, 20Y9. Comparing the bank statement, the canceled checks, and the accompanying memos with the records revealed the following reconciling items: A. Checks outstanding totaled $5,560. B. A deposit of $1,050 representing receipts of October 31, had been made too late to appear on the bank statement. C. The bank had collected for Coastal Bike Co. $2,120 on a note left for collection. The face of the note was $2,000. D. A check for $370 returned with the statement had been incorrectly charged by the bank as $730. E. A check for $310 returned with the statement had been recorded by Coastal Bike Co. as $130. The check was for the payment of an obligation to Rack Pro Co. on account. F.
