Altmans z-score Altmans z-score is a financial tool for predicting insolvency in a business. For a certain company, the z-score formula is z=0.84+0.6StockpriceOutstandingsharesTotalliabilty In this exercise, we assume that thre are 45, 000 outstanding shares at a price of 4.80 each. a. Use L, for total liability, in dollard, and give a formula for the z-score for this company. b. Would a larger total liability idicate a better or worese outlook for the company? c. A z-score of 1.81 or lower indicates a high probability of insolvency. What is the smallest value of L that will give a z-score that indicates a high probability on insolvency?
Population Genetics In the study of population genetics, an important measure of inbreeding is the proportion of homozygous genotypesthat is, instances in which the two alleles carried at a particular site on an individuals chromosomes are both the same. For population in which blood-related individual mate, them is a higher than expected frequency of homozygous individuals. Examples of such populations include endangered or rare species, selectively bred breeds, and isolated populations. in general. the frequency of homozygous children from mating of blood-related parents is greater than that for children from unrelated parents Measured over a large number of generations, the proportion of heterozygous genotypesthat is, nonhomozygous genotypeschanges by a constant factor 1 from generation to generation. The factor 1 is a number between 0 and 1. If 1=0.75, for example then the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 25 in each generation In this case, after 10 generations, the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 94.37, since 0.7510=0.0563, or 5.63. In other words, 94.37 of the population is homozygous. For specific types of matings, the proportion of heterozygous genotypes can be related to that of previous generations and is found from an equation. For mating between siblings 1 can be determined as the largest value of for which 2=12+14. This equation comes from carefully accounting for the genotypes for the present generation the 2 term in terms of those previous two generations represented by for the parents generation and by the constant term of the grandparents generation. a Find both solutions to the quadratic equation above and identify which is 1 use a horizontal span of 1 to 1 in this exercise and the following exercise. b After 5 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous? c After 20 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous?
Salinity in Quebec river is a combination of tides and rain. Rain that diluted the salt occurs about 10% of the time, while the non salty outgoing tides occurs twice per day. You take your dog for a walk down by the river at random during the weekend and notice that he'll drink from the river 30% of the time when the salt is sufficiently low. someone points out that the saltiness doesn't depend on the local rain but on the rain upriver. Assume that at any time it is possible to have 3 independent rainstorms upriver , all with the same 10% probability of occurrence that you see at the city. What is the probability of no rain upriver ? Of 1 rain ? Of more than one ? please tell which probability formula you use
