3. Medical professionals say that 98.6°F is the normal body temperature of an average person. Healthy individuals' temperatures should not vary more than 0.5°F from that temperature. a. Write an absolute value function f(t) to describe an individual's variance from normal body temperature, where t is the individual's current temperature. b. Determine f(101.5) and describe what that tells yoU about the individual. c. What is a reasonable domain for a healthy individual?

I'm needing help with part 1 through 3, please The data of Sugar Water and Plain Water: mean # of drops variance degrees of freedom t stat t crit (from the table) plain water 25.3 17.221 38 -4.01 2.0261 sugar water 21.3 21.256 1. Make a statement about t stat in relation to t crit. And what is the p-value? 2. Is there a statistically significant difference between the mean values (mean # of drops) of the sugar and plain water? Give your "yes" or "no" answer and the supporting evidence. 3. Hypothesis: The surface tension of plain water is higher than the surface tension of sugar water. Do these results support or refute the hypothesis about the effect of dissolving salt in water on surface tension?

Two different varieties of potato plants produce potatoes with thesame mean weight of 1.5 pounds. One variety has a very low variancefor potato wieght, and the other has a much higher variance. A. Discuss the possible reasons for the differences in variance.B. If you were a potato farmer, would you rather raise a varietywith a low or high variance? Explain your answer from apracticalpoint of view.C. If you were a potato breeder and you wanted to develop potatoeswith a heavier weight, would you choose the variety witha low or high variance? Explain your answer.
A genetics researcher determines that the broad-sense heritability of height among Southwestern University undergraduate students is 0.90. Which of the following conclusions would be reasonable? Explain your answer. a. Sally is a Southwestern University undergraduate student, so 10% of her height is determined by nongenetic factors. b. Ninety percent of variation in height among all undergraduate students in the United States is due to genetic differences. c. Ninety percent of the height of Southwestern University undergraduate students is determined by genes. d. Ten percent of the variation in height among Southwestern University undergraduate students is determined by variation in nongenetic factors. e. Because the heritability of height among Southwestern University students is so high, any change in the students’ environment will have minimal effect on their height.
A) If other factors are held constant, how does sample variance influence the likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis and the measure of effect size (i.e. Cohen’s d)? B) Briefly explain what least square solution is.
The heritability for egg weight in a group of chickens on a farm inMaine is 0.95. Are the following statements regarding this heritabilitytrue or false? If a statement is false, explain why.A. The environment in Maine has very little effect on the outcomeof this trait.B. Nearly all of the phenotypic variance for this trait in this groupof chickens is due to genetic variance.C. The trait is polygenic and likely to involve a large number ofgenes.D. Based on the observation of the heritability in the Mainechickens, it is reasonable to conclude that the heritability foregg weight in a group of chickens on a farm in Montana isalso very high.
1. A sample of 600 individuals from a population is examined for the presence of the HindIII polymorphism in an autsomal Sca gene. There are two alleles of Sca gene, A and a. The results are 14 individuals are AA, 212 are Aa, 374 are aa. Please answer the following questions accordingly? How many alleles are present in the gene pool in the sample population fort he Sca gene? What are the genotype frequencies? What are the frequencies of A and a alleles? What are the expected numbers of the three genotypes, assuming random
