Answer:

The probability that 200 women have a mean pregnancy between 266 days and 268 days is 0.371.

Explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = gestation time for humans.

The mean of the random variable <em>X</em> is: E (X) = <em>μ</em> = 266 days.

The standard deviation of the random variable <em>X</em> is: SD (X) = <em>σ</em> = 25 days.

**Assume that the gestation time for humans follows a Normal distribution.

The <em>z</em>-score for the sample mean is: z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/ \sqrt{n}}.

The sample of women selected is:<em> </em><em>n</em> = 200.

Compute the probability that 200 women have a mean pregnancy between 266 days and 268 days as follows:

P(266\leq \bar X\leq \leq 268)=P(\frac{266-266}{25/ \sqrt{200}}\leq \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/ \sqrt{n}}\leq \frac{268-266}{25/ \sqrt{200}})\\=P(0\leq Z\leq 1.13)\\=P(Z

**Use the <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that 200 women have a mean pregnancy between 266 days and 268 days is 0.371.

Answer:

a. bottleneck effect.

Explanation:

A bottleneck effect occurs when some adverse environmental conditions such as typhoons and famine reduce the population size considerably. The allele frequencies of the population are changed. As the population grows again, the gene pool has different allele frequencies than the original population. During population growth, some harmful alleles may become more abundant resulting in a rare disease such as achromatopsia. Therefore, the given population represents the bottleneck effect.
