Assortative mating is a nonrandom mating pattern where individuals with similar genotypes and/or phenotypes mate with one anothe

r more frequently than what would be expected under a random mating pattern. Researchers studying this topic collected data on eye colors of 204 Scandinavian men and their female partners. The table below summarizes the results (rows represent male eye color while columns represent female eye color). For simplicity, we only include heterosexual relationships in this exercise.

Brown 19 23 12 54
Green 11 9 16 36
Total 108 55 41 204

Answer:

a) P(male=blue or female=blue) = 0.71

b) P(female=blue | male=blue) = 0.68

c) P(female=blue | male=brown) = 0.35

d) P(female=blue | male=green) = 0.31

e) We can conclude that the eye colors of male respondents and their partners are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given following information about eye colors of 204 Scandinavian men and their female partners.

              Blue    Brown     Green    Total

Blue        78         23            13          114

Brown     19         23            12          54

Green     11           9             16          36

Total      108       55            41          204

a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen male respondent or his partner has blue eyes?

Using the addition rule of probability,

∵ P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

For the given case,

P(male=blue or female=blue) = P(male=blue) + P(female=blue) - P(male=blue and female=blue)

P(male=blue or female=blue) = 114/204 + 108/204 − 78/204

P(male=blue or female=blue) = 0.71

b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen male respondent with blue eyes has a partner with blue eyes?

As per the rule of conditional probability,

P(female=blue | male=blue) = 78/114

P(female=blue | male=blue) = 0.68

c) What is the probability that a randomly chosen male respondent with brown eyes has a partner with blue eyes?

As per the rule of conditional probability,

P(female=blue | male=brown) = 19/54

P(female=blue | male=brown) = 0.35

d) What is the probability of a randomly chosen male respondent with green eyes having a partner with blue eyes?

As per the rule of conditional probability,

P(female=blue | male=green) = 11/36

P(female=blue | male=green) = 0.31

e) Does it appear that the eye colors of male respondents and their partners are independent? Explain

If the following relation holds true then we can conclude that the eye colors of male respondents and their partners are independent.

∵ P(B | A) = P(B)

P(female=blue | male=brown) = P(female=blue)

or alternatively, you can also test

P(female=blue | male=green) = P(female=blue)

P(female=blue | male=blue) = P(female=blue)

But

P(female=blue | male=brown) ≠ P(female=blue)

19/54 ≠ 108/204

0.35 ≠ 0.53

Therefore, we can conclude that the eye colors of male respondents and their partners are not independent.

(1 / 5) hour is 12 minutes and five times this equals 1 hour.
So the distance times 5 equals miles per hour.

Write 0.87 as a fraction in simplest form.
TEA [102]
Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
0.87 = 0.87 / 1

Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 2 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 2 10's

Numerator (N)
N = 0.87 × 10 × 10 = 87
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 = 100

N / D = 87 / 100

Simplifying our fraction

= 87/100

Problem 18

Answers:

~P -> Q: "if it is not fall, then the leaves change colors"

~P -> ~Q: "if it is not fall, then the leaves don't change colors"

P -> ~Q: "If it is fall, then the leaves don't change colors"

Q -> ~P: "If the leaves change colors, then it is not fall"

----------

Explanation:

Simply replace each letter with the corresponding definition. We replace each P with "it is fall" and each ~P with "it is not fall". The squiggly line means "not". The same idea applies with Q and ~Q.

==========================================

Problem 19

Answer: Choice A) 134

----------

Explanation:

AB = CD

8x = 4x+24

8x-4x = 24

4x = 24

x = 6

BC = 18x+26

BC = 18*6+26

BC = 134

==========================================

Problem 20

Answer: Choice C) x = 5 and y = 11

----------

Explanation:

(anglePQR)+(angleRQS) = 90

(12x-2)+(6x+2) = 90

18x = 90

x = 5

angle TQU = 90

10y-20 = 90

10y = 110

y = 11

==========================================

Problem 21

Answer:  99

----------

Explanation:

The remote interior angles add to the exterior angle (remote interior angle theorem)

(angle RPQ) + (angle PQR) = angle PRS

(3x-29) + (7x-42) = 6x-3

10x-71 = 6x-3

10x-6x = -3+71

4x = 68

x = 68/4

x = 17

angle PRS = 6x-3

angle PRS = 6*17-3

angle PRS = 99

==========================================

Problem 22

Answer: 116

----------

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

Solve 105+x = 180 to get x = 75

Solve 135+y = 180 to get y = 45

Solve x+y+z = 180 to get z = 60

Solve z+82+p = 180 to get p = 38

Solve p+78+q = 180 to get q = 64

Solve q+r = 180 to get r = 116

==========================================

Problem 23

Answer: B) between 4 and 44 inches

----------

Explanation:

We use a variation of the triangle inequality theorem here.

If p is the missing side length, then

24-20 < p < 24+20

4 < p < 44

So,

4 < XY < 44

The side XY cannot be 4 inches and it cannot be 44 inches either.

==========================================

Problem 24

4 Answers: A, B, C, D

----------

Explanation:

Same idea as problem 23

24-10 < x < 24+10

14 < x < 34

So we'll select values between 14 and 34, excluding each endpoint. Those values are x = 16, 18, 24, 26

In other words, only 12 and 34 are non-answers.

==========================================

Problem 25

Answer: C) 84 degrees

----------

Explanation:

The given exterior angle is 152 degrees

Subtract that from 180 to get the adjacent interior angle 180-152 = 28

Now let's find the missing angle of triangle DEB

D+E+B = 180

28+68+B = 180

96+B = 180

B = 180-96

B = 84

This is the measure of angle DBE

This is also the measure of angle ABC because the two angles are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.
