Shaver manufacturing, Inc. offers dental insurance to its employees. A recent study by the Human Resource Director shows the annual cost per employee per year followed the normal distribution, with a mean of $1 280 and the standard deviation of $420 per year. In all questions start with sketching a normal curve. Cross-hatch requested area/probability. If you calculate z-value, round it to two decimal places.

1. What was the cost for the 15% of employees that incurred the highest dental expense?
2. What was the range of annual dental costs (in dollars) for middle 80% of all employees?
3. What is the probability the employee’s annual dental costs are not exceeding $1200?
4. If random sample of 50 employees is chosen, what is the probability the sample is having a mean of $1100 or more?
5. If random sample of 95 employees is chosen, what is the probability the sample is having a mean between $1300 and $1400?

Species: cat, lizard, human

1. For each of your species, describe how their morphology and/or behavior corresponds with their environment and way of life.

2. What ecological interactions do you observe or foresee between these species and their environment? Think about both interspecific and environmental interactions.

3. If one of these species were to be suddenly removed, what impact would this have on the ecosystem? How might this affect the survival and evolution of the other species you observed? How might this affect the environment? For this question, think beyond just the direct consequences and about the subsequent (or indirect) consequences this removal may cause as well (ie. cascade of cause and effect).

After careful planning, Jammu Manufacturing Corporation has decided to switch to a just-in-time inventory system as a component of the lean thinking model. At the beginning of this switch, Jammu has 30 units of product in inventory. Jammu has 2,000 labour hours available in the first month of this switch. These hours could produce 500 units of product. Customer demand for this first month is 400 units. If just-in-time principles are correctly followed, how many units should Jammu plan to produce in the first month of the switch?

A) 370

B) 470

C) 400

D) 430

you explored several theories of human development including a psychodynamic theory advanced by Freud which was later built upon by Erikson. Although the initial stages of Erikson's work parallels Freud's, Erikson's theory introduced three adult stages resulting in a more comprehensive lifespan view of psychosocial development.

In your initial post:

1. Apply Erikson's theory to your own development and identify which of Erikson's developmental stages you are in currently.
2. Based on your experiences or what you have witnessed in others, suggest a new stage of development to further Erikson's theory. Be sure to give your new stage a name, describe its characteristics (age span, behaviors, challenges, etc.), and ensure that it's clear where it would be inserted into Erikson's existing stages.
3. Describe whether or not you have achieved the goal of your newly created developmental stage.

Pathway of an Oxygen Molecule as it Travels Through the Human Body

Any two human beings typically have an estimated 0.1% difference in their nucleotide sequences, which is equivalent to about 3 million nucleotide differences. These differences are the basis of the SNPs used to construct genetic linkage maps and are the basis for genotyping at 23andMe and Ancestry.com. Some of these SNPs actually lie in the region of the DNA that codes for protein, yet they have no effect on the phenotype of individuals carrying the SNP on both homologous chromosomes.

Provide three plausible explanations for how some SNPs can lie within the portion of the DNA that codes for the protein and yet have no discernible effect on the protein’s activity.

5. Haak et al. (2015) found by admixture analysis of ancient and modern human DNAs that a massive wave of genetic ancestry linked to the steppes of southern Russia first appeared in Europe in the late Neolithic. Moreover, this “Russian steppe” genetic component has remained significant in most European nationalities ever since. Describe more specifically what experiments they performed, how their admixture analyses were structured, and how their results were interpreted. What were the implications of these results for the spread of Indo-European languages across Europe?
