. Most Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris) are orange with black stripes. Occasionally, however, they can be white with black stripes. The white phenotype is recessive to orange. In one study, a white and an orange tiger were bred in a zoo. These 2 tigers eventually had 10 offspring: 4 white and 6 orange. What are the genotypes of the two parents? 6. If the orange tiger from the previous question is crossed with one of its orange offspring, what is the probability of obtaining a white tiger from the cross? 7. In snapdragons, a species of plant, red flower color is incompletely dominant over white, the heterozygotes being pink. If you want to produce seed that will yield only pink flowering plants, what would you cross? 8. George has type A blood and his wife Harriet has type B blood. They have a daughter with type O blood. What is the probability that their next child will have type AB blood?

1. A dealer decides to sell a rare book by means of an English auction with a reservation price of 54. There are two bidders. The dealer believes that there are only three possible values, 90, 54, and 45, that each bidder’s willingness to pay might take. Each bidder has a probability of 1/3 of having each of these willingnesses to pay, and the probabilities for each of the two bidders are independent of the other’s valuation. Assuming that the two bidders bid rationally and do not collude, the dealer’s expected revenue is approximately ______. 2. A seller knows that there are two bidders for the object he is selling. He believes that with probability 1/2, one has a buyer value of 5 and the other has a buyer value of 10 and with probability 1/2, one has a buyer value of 8 and the other has a buyer value of 15. He knows that bidders will want to buy the object so long as they can get it for their buyer value or less. He sells it in an English auction with a reserve price which he must…
2. Christiaan can go hiking, or he can stay at home. Hiking would be fun if nothing bad happens, but there is a risk if he goes hiking that he will meet a bear (not fun) or get bitten by a snake (very not fun). Christiaan decides that if there is a 5% chance of meeting a bear and a 1% chance of getting bitten by a snake, he would prefer to go hiking rather than stay at home. However, if the chance of meeting a bear is 10% and the chance of a snake bite is 5%, he definitely would rather stay at home. then (a) Consider the utility function: U (stay home) = 25, U (hike no event) = 100, U (hike & snake) -1000, U (hike & bear) = -200. Does this utility function represent Christiaan's pref- erences? Explain. (b) Suppose that the utility function in (a) does represent Christiaan's preferences. Would Christiaan prefer to hike or stay home if the probability of meeting a bear is 6% and the probability of being bitten by a snake is 4%? Show your work.

When playing roulette at a casino, a gambler is trying to decide whether to bet $10 on the number 30 or to bet $10 that the outcome is any one of the three possibilities 00, 0, or 1. 3 The gambler knows that the expected value of the $10 bet for a single number is - 53¢. For the $10 bet that the outcome is 00, 0, or 1, there is a probability of 38 of making a net profit of $30 and a probability of losing $10. 35 38 a. Find the expected value for the $10 bet that the outcome is 00, 0, or 1. b. Which bet is better: a $10 bet on the number 30 or a $10 bet that the outcome is any one of the numbers 00, 0, or 1? Why? a. The expected value is $. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) b. Since the expected value of the bet on the number 30 is C than the expected value for the bet that the outcome is 00, 0, or 1, the bet on is better.
You and a coworker are assigned a team project on which your likelihood or a promotion will be decidedon. It is now the night before the project is due and neither has yet to start it. You both want toreceive a promotion next year, but you both also want to go to your company’s holiday party that night.Each of you wants to maximize his or her own happiness (likelihood of a promotion and mingling withyour colleagues “on the company’s dime”). If you both work, you deliver an outstanding presentation.If you both go to the party, your presentation is mediocre. If one parties and the other works, yourpresentation is above average. Partying increases happiness by 25 units. Working on the project addszero units to happiness. Happiness is also affected by your chance of a promotion, which is depends on howgood your project is. An outstanding presentation gives 40 units of happiness to each of you; an aboveaverage presentation gives 30 units of happiness; a mediocre presentation gives 10 units…
1. Consider you toss two dices separately, and you get whatever the number above the dice. You know that the first dice is fair, but there is a 0.30 probability that outcome will be 6, and 0.30 probability that outcome will be 1 in the second dice. Each of the other outcomes has a probability 0.10 for the second dice. Which dice has the higher variance?

Consider the Hawk–Dove situation shown here. a. Show that an ESS uses hawk with probability 2/3.b. In this chapter, we’ve only allowed a mutation to be of a single strategy.Departing from that assumption, consider a small mutation in whichhalf of the mutants are hawks and half are doves (i.e., they use onlypure strategies). Determine whether the ESS in part (a) is immune tothis mutation; that is, determine whether the ESS has higher fitnessthan that of each of these mutants.

6. During an evolution, the minimum, maximum, and average fitness of a population is 1.2, 270, and 40, respectively. If the most fit individual is to be 3 time more likely than the average fit individual to be selected, and the least fit individual is l1/3 as likely as the average fit individual to be selected, what is the scaled fitness of an individual whose raw fitness is 58.
