Black skin color is dominant to pink skin color in pigs. Two heterozygous black pigs are crossed. a. What is the probability that their offspring will have pink skin? b. What is the probability that the first and second off- spring will have black skin? c. If these pigs produce a total of three piglets, what is the probability that two will be pink and one will be black?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(Pink) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(Both\ Black) = \frac{9}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{64}[/tex] --- Two pink and One black

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the pink skin with P and the black skin with B.

Since black skin is dominant to pink skin, there will be more occurrence of B than P

The punnet square for the breeding of the two pigs is then represented as:

[tex]\begin{array}{cc} {B} & {B} \ \\ {B} & {P} \ \ \end{array}[/tex]

Solving (a): Probability of Pink

In the above square, there is only 1 occurrence of P out of a possible of 4.

So, the probability is:

[tex]P(Pink) = \frac{n(P)}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(Pink) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Solving (b): Probability that first and second are black

In the above square, there is only 3 occurrence of B out of a possible of 4.

[tex]P(Black) = \frac{n(B)}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(Black) = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

So, the probability that both are black is:

[tex]P(Both\ Black) = P(Black) * P(Black)[/tex]

[tex]P(Both\ Black) = \frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(Both\ Black) = \frac{9}{16}[/tex]

Solving (c): Probability of two pink and 1 black

This is calculated as:

[tex]Probability = P(Pink) * P(Pink) * P(Black)[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{64}[/tex]

Answer 2

A) The probability that their offspring will have pink skin is; ¹/₄

B) The probability that the first and second off- spring will have black skin is;

9/16  or 56.25%

C) The probability that two will be pink and one will be black  If the pigs produce a total of three piglets is; ³/₆₄ or 4.6875%

Mendel's law of dominance

To answer this question, we need to first understand Mendel's law of dominance. This law states that in a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic. This means that the dominant trait always conceal the recessive trait.

Now in this question, we are told that;

black skin colour is dominant to Pink skin colour in pigs.

Let's denote the black color gene by ‘P’ and pink colour by ‘p’. Therefore, if cross is held between these two genes then according to mendel's law, the heterozygous pigs is specified as "Pp"

Now when the heterozygous pigs specified as "Pp" are crossed, we have;

Pp × Pp = PP, Pp, Pp, pp

where;

PP and Pp denotes black pigs is denoted pp denotes pink pigs

(a) From the 4 cross possibilities above;

Probability that their offspring will have pink skin = ¹/₄

(b) From the 4 cross possibilities gotten earlier;

Probability that their offspring will have black skin = ³/₄

Thus;

Probability that the first and second off- spring will have black skin is;

³/₄ × ³/₄ = 9/16  or 56.25%

(c) We are told that the pigs produced a total of three piglet. Thus, the probability that two will be pink and one black will be black is;

P(2 pink and 1 black) =   ¹/₄ × ¹/₄ × ³/₄ = ³/₆₄ or 4.6875%

Manny bought a car for $32,985. Five years later, the car was worth $19,500. Find the percent of change in the value of the car.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent of change in the value of the car is 40.88%

What is percentage?

A percentage is a portion of a whole expressed as a number between 0 and 100 rather than as a fraction.

Given that, Manny bought a car for $32,985. Five years later, the car was worth $19,500.

Percentage change = (32985-19500)/32985*100 = 40.88%

Hence, The percent of change in the value of the car is 40.88%

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(x = 1) = 0.10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} \ \\ P(x) & {0.10} & {0.30} & {0.40} & {0.20} \ \ \end{array}[/tex]

Determine the probability of selling exactly 1 batch

This probability is represented with [tex]P(x = 1)[/tex]

From the table:

When x = 1; P(x) = 0.10

Hence:

[tex]P(x = 1) = 0.10[/tex]

Both Px + Qy = R and Tx + Uy = V have the same solution (2, 9), meaning the point (2, 9) lies on both lines such that x = 2 and y = 9 makes both equations true.

When you add these equations together, you get

(Px + Qy) + (Tx + Uy) = R + V

→   (P + T ) x + (Q + U ) y = R + V

so the first option is equivalent.

When you subtract the first equation from the second, you get

(Tx + Uy) - (Px + Qy) = V - R

→   (T - P) x + (U - Q) y = V - R

so the third option is also equivalent.

The diagram shows a piece of cheese in the shape of the triangular prism.Work out the area of the cling film needed to cover the cheese

Answers

Answer:

488.4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of cling film needed = surface area of the triangular prism = 2(B.A) + P×H

Where,

B.A = triangular base area = ½*base*height

height = 10.5 cm

base = √(13.7² - 10.5²) = √77.44 = 8.8 cm

B.A = ½*8.8*10.5 = 46.2 cm²

P = perimeter of the triangular base = 10.5 + 13.7 + 8.8 = 33

H = height of prism = 12 cm

Surface area of triangular prism = 2(46.2) + 33*12

= 92.4 + 396

= 488.4 cm²

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First substitute x with 6 in the equation

2y + 1/3(6) = 18

Multiple 1/3 with 6, which is 2

2y + 2 = 18

Solve the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides

2y + 2 = 18

    - 2     - 2

You get 2y = 16, so you divide 2 frm both sides

You get y = 8
