Suppose that, in a given population, the probability of success for a given drug is 0.7 for men and 0.5 for women (the researchers cannot be aware of this). In a study to determine the probability of success, 7 men and 14 women were assigned to receive the drug (no blocking was performed; all were lumped in to the treatment group). What is the bias in this study for each biological sex? (This may be a positive or a negative number).

Application: Elasticity and hotel rooms.
The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Big Winner Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool.
| Demand Factor | Initial Value |
|---|---|
| Average American household income | $50,000 per year |
| Roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles (LAX) to Las Vegas (LAS) | $250 per roundtrip |
| Room rate at the Lucky Hotel and Casino, which is near the Big Winner | $200 per night |
Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.
Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

For each of the following scenarios, begin by assuming that all demand factors are set to their original values and Big Winner is charging $350 per room per night.
If average household income increases by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Big Winner (Falls or Rises ) from ( ) rooms per night to ( ) rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is (Negative or Positive) , meaning that hotel rooms at the Big Winner are ( A normal good or An inferior good ).
If the price of an airline ticket from LAX to LAS were to increase by 20%, from $250 to $300 roundtrip, while all other demand factors remain at their initial values, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Big Winner (Falls or Rises) from ( ) rooms per night to ( ) rooms per night. Because the cross-price elasticity of demand is (Negative or Positive), hotel rooms at the Big Winner and airline trips between LAX and LAS are (Substitutes or Complements).
Big Winner is debating decreasing the price of its rooms to $325 per night. Under the initial demand conditions, you can see that this would cause its total revenue to (Decrease or Increase) . Decreasing the price will always have this effect on revenue when Big Winner is operating on the (Elastic or Inelastic) portion of its demand curve.

In baseball, League A allows a designated hitter (DH) to bat for the pitcher, who is typically a weak hitter. In League B, the pitcher must bat. The common belief is that this results in League A teams scoring more runs. In interleague play, when League A teams visit League B teams, the League A pitcher must bat. So, if the DH does result in more runs, it would be expected that league A teams will score more runs in League A park than when visiting League B parks. To test this claim, a random sample of runs scored by league A teams with and without their DH is given in the accompanying table. Complete parts a) through d) below.

Does there appear to be a difference in the number of runs between these situations?
A. No but the number of runs scored in a League A park appear to be slightly higher than the number of runs scored in a League B park.
B. Yes because the number of runs scored in a League B park appear to have a higher median than the number of runs scored in a League A park.
C.Yes because the number of runs scored in a League A park appear to have a higher median than the number of runs scored in a League B park.
D.No because the number of runs scored in a League A park is about the same as the number of runs scored in a League B park.
b) Explain why a hypothesis test may be used to test whether the mean number of runs scored for the two types of ballparks differ.

Project Risk Response
Risk responses and action steps are defined during the risk response planning phase. Here the project team must plan the actions that will be taken should any identified risk actually materialize. This is typically done for some subset of the total population of risk issues identified—most likely those that are of the highest probability and/or impact. Risks can be both negative (threats) and positive (opportunities). The possible strategies for responding to negative risks include the following: avoid, transfer, mitigate, and accept. The possible strategies for responding to positive risks include the following: exploit, enhance, share, and accept.
QUESTION
Based on the below risk register regarding the Pepsi Refresh Program
Summarize the approach for developing risk response strategies. For example, which risks should one first attempt to avoid? Should they do it based on the risk factor score (P*I) or EMV?
Describe the process to use to determine risk triggers (the event that tells someone that the risk event is imminent).

4. For a diploid species, assume one set of 100 demes, each with a constant size of 10 individuals, and another set of 100 demes, each with 100 individuals.
a) If in each deme the frequencies of neutral alleles A1 and A2 are 0.2 and 0.8, respectively, what fraction of demes in each set is likely to become fixed for allele A1 versus A2? Show your work below:
b) Assume that a neutral mutation arises in each deme. Calculate the probability that it will become fixed in a population of each size. In what fraction of demes do you expect it to become fixed?
c) If fixation occurs, how many generations do you expect it to take?
d) Compare your results for the two sets of demes. What effect does population size have on the results? Explain any differences.
5. Population size is a very important measurement in population genetics.
a) What is the difference between N and Ne? How are they measured/estimated?
Explain in your own words!
b) Ne is often smaller than N for 5 reasons. In your own words, describe these reasons below:
