In rabbits, there is a gene that controls ear length, with a dominant allele "t" for long ears and a recessive allele "t" for short ears. at another gene locus, there are alleles “b” for black coat and “w” for white coat. neither the b or w allele is dominant, and bw produces a gray coat. these two allele pairs assort independently. if a gray rabbit that is heterozygous at the gene locus controlling ear length is mated with a white rabbit that is also heterozygous at the gene locus controlling ear length, what is the probability that their first offspring will be gray with long ears

The wall street journal reported that walmart stores inc. is planning to lay off 2,300 employees at its sam's club warehouse unit. approximately half of the layoffs will be hourly employees (the wall street journal, january 25-26, 2014). suppose the following data represent the percentage of hourly employees laid off for 15 sam's club stores. 55 56 44 43 44 56 60 62 57 45 36 38 50 69 65 (a) compute the mean and median percentage of hourly employees being laid off at these stores. (b) compute the first and third quartiles. (c) compute the range and interquartile range. (d) compute the variance and standard deviation. (e) do the data contain any outliers? (f) based on the sample data, does it appear that walmart is meeting its goal for reducing the number of hourly employees?

Bayside coatings company purchased waterproofing equipment on january 2, 20y4, for $190,000. the equipment was expected to have a useful life of four years and a residual value of $9,000. instructions: determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended december 31, 20y4, 20y5, 20y6, and 20y7, by (a) the straight-line method and (b) the double-declining-balance method. also determine the total depreciation expense for the four years by each method. depreciation expense year straight-line method double-declining-balance method 20y4 $ $ 20y5 20y6 20y7 total $

Amonopolist’s inverse demand function is p = 150 – 3q. the company produces output at two facilities; the marginal cost of producing at facility 1 is mc1(q1) = 6q1, and the marginal cost of producing at facility 2 is mc2(q2) = 2q2.a. provide the equation for the monopolist’s marginal revenue function. (hint: recall that q1 + q2 = q.)mr(q) = 150 - 6 q1 - 3 q2b. determine the profit-maximizing level of output for each facility. output for facility 1: output for facility 2: c. determine the profit-maximizing price.$
