Assume you are studying some species of flower that comes in three different colors: red, pink, and white. You know that color is determined by a single locus with two alleles with incomplete dominance. You count 124 red flowers, 62 pink flowers, and 30 white flowers. What are the allele frequencies and is the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Calculate the chi squared test statistic and p-value.

Identify ways to make performance evaluations more effective. Do you believe one of your suggestions is of higher priority than the others? Explain.

Would you rather work for an organization where everyone knows what others are earning or an organization where this information is kept secret? Why?

Some medical experts believe that regular exercises result in better health, improved conditioning and greater tolerance of stressful situations. What would you think about being employed by a company that required you to workout daily on company time? Do you think this would help or hurt the company’s recruiting ability? Explain your position?

Given your career aspirations, might you join a union? Why or why not? Explain.

In using statistical test of hypothesis in general and in business in particular, business practitioners face two types of errors: type I and type II error. Discuss each type of error in detail. In your opinion which type has more severe consequences in business? Support your opinion by providing an example. Also, discuss what is P-Value and its connection to type I error.

In this week’s lab you will look for examples of phenotypic variation within and between species of plants, using both your unassisted eye and a microscope. But what sorts of phenotypeswill you not be able to observe in lab, and might they be variable, too? In your answer, detail two other kinds of unobservable (with our methods) phenotype that might vary within and between species and give a concrete example of each.

You are the manager of Coca-Cola and are facing the effect of a research (published in 2004) that reports that consuming high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is associated with promoting obesity. Consider the number of news reports and the number of other research papers on this topic that have been published since 2004. This issue is relevant to you because HFCS is the sweetener used in soft drink manufacturing. Then, you are to:

1.1  Define the own price elasticity of demand.

1.2  Write out a nonlinear demand equation for Coca-Cola that includes the appropriate demand shifters. Based on economic theory, attach the appropriate sign to the coefficient on each right hand side variable.

1.3  Given the number of news reports and other research papers that focus on the positive relation between HFCS and obesity, explain how this is represented by the demand equation for Coca-Cola.

1.4  Use economic theory to explain the meaning of the coefficient on each explanatory variable.

1.5  What would you do to offset the effect of the HFCS-obesity research on the demand for Coca-Cola? Based on economic theory explain your decision. Explain if your decision is working.

1.6  Would you increase or decrease price to boost Coke sales? Based on economic theory, explain your choice.

1.7  Based on economic theory, explain how Coke’s advertising would affect the demand for Pepsi.  

1.8  Based on economic theory, explain why you would spend a lot of money on.

1.9  What is the effect of population on consumption of Coca-Cola?  

1.10 Assume that consumers are worried about the positive relation between consumption of HFCS and obesity, so consumers may increase bottled water consumption. Explain the effect of this on the demand for Coca-Cola. Is the cross price elasticity of demand between Coca-Cola and bottled water negative of positive, explain?

This issue is relevant to you because HFCS is the sweetener used in soft drink manufacturing. Then, you are to:

1. Define the own price elasticity of demand.

In the video, studies of twins were used to add evidence to a debate about whether an individual's character is formed primarily from their genetics or their environment. Review your course readings and answer the following questions related to the Nature or Nurture debate

In your own words, explain how the use of twin studies can help to clarify whether characteristics are determined primarily by genes or environment.

The assumption made in this debate is that factors in an individual’s genetic make-up, or in their environment, cause how they act as adults. Discuss whether you agree with that assumption and why or why not.

In your opinion, does the high degree of correlation between the behavior of twins prove that genetics causes their behavior?

Why might you question how well one variable predicts another, such as whether genes or environment predicts adult behavior?

Thinking about your own life experiences, describe reasons why your genetics or childhood environment might fail to predict your current decisions and actions.

M&M'S MILK CHOCOLATE: 24% cyan blue, 20% orange, 16% green, 14% bright yellow, 13% red, 13% brown.

Each large production batch is blended to those ratios and mixed thoroughly. However, since the individual packages are filled by weight on high-speed equipment, and not by count, it is possible to have an unusual color distribution.

1. Treat your bag of M&M's as a simple random sample and:

a. Count the following --

Number of GREEN M&M's: 9

Total number of M&M's: 56

Proportion of GREEN M&M's: 9/56

b. See if the requirements for constructing a confidence interval for proportions are satisfied. Show your work here:

c. The conditions might not be satisfied, depending on how many candies were in your bag. If the conditions are not met, what could you do? (note—you don’t have to do it, just say what you would do)

d. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of GREEN M&M's using your data (not using any classmate data yet). Feel free to use the calculator’s Interval command. Be sure to include an interpretation of your interval.

My interval:
