3. Genetic screens Geneticists use the F3 screen (see below) to isolate and characterize new mutations in a wide variety of animal and plants. Use your knowledge of mutagenesis and Mendelian inheritance to answer the following questions. A. Why is the F3 screen necessary, i.e. why is it that most mutants cannot be identified in the F1 generation? B. Would it work to mate the F1 fish carrying a mutation to one of its mutant siblings? Why or why not? C. A single zebrafish mating produces around one hundred offspring. In practical terms, a geneticist who performs the F3 screen will separate out each individual F1 offspring, and carry its descendants through the F2 and F3 generations independently of the others. Why is this necessary?

The multiple regressions serve to explain the behavior of one variable (dependent variable) though a set of some explanatory variables for which we can find a logical/theoretically founded relationship with the dependent variable.
Please discuss three business situations (either real or a business situation) with proposed set of 5 explanatory variable. Could you define the expected sign (positive or negative) of these selected explanatory variables?
As e have discussed the usage of the dummy variables propose at least in one of the three cases you discuss previously one or two dummy variables you think are good explanatory variables for the case you are discussing.

A company, United Consumers, is considering the option of replacing its employer provided insurance plan with what is known as Consumer Directed Health Plan (CDHP). Under this new plan, the company would provide its employees with a sum of money so that the employees can purchase their health plan form the online marketplace. This plan is based on the belief that employees tend to behave more responsibly if they have to spend their own money as consumers. According to a recent study, a market research firm found that generally 41% of the employees (who had the option to choose CDHP) chose CDHP as their choice over their traditional employer sponsored plan. The company, United Consumers, employs 290 people. In order to find out the acceptance of CDHP among its employees, a random sample of 40 employees was selected. Compute the following based on this information:
a. What is the probability that 18 or more employees from this sample chose CDHP as their choice?
b. What is the probability that between 17 and 22 employees from this sample chose CDHP as their choice?
