Chemical signals of mice.Consider Refer to the Cell (May 14, 2010) study of the ability of a mouse to recognize the odor of a potential predator, Exercise 3.63 (p. 143). Recall that theThe sources of these odors are typically major urinary ­proteins (Mups). In an experiment, 40% of lab mice cells exposed to chemically produced cat Mups responded positively (i.e., recognized the danger of the lurking predator). Consider a sample of 100 lab mice cells, each exposed to chemically produced cat Mups. Let x represent the number of cells that respond positively. Explain why the probability distribution of x can be ­approximated by the binomial distribution. Find E(x) and interpret its value, practically. Find the variance of x. Give an interval that is likely to contain the value of x.

An asset was purchased during 2010 for P 4800. It is being depreciated using the straight line method for an estimated total life of 20 years and a salvage value of P 800. What is the difference in its current book value that would have resulted if the declining balance depreciation at the rate of 10% had been used?
