1. Two species are said to be symbiotes if they help each other to survive. For instance, clown fish and sea anemones are symbiotes (they protect each other from different types of predators). Say in some region, without sea anemones to shelter them, the clown fish population is stable (that is, the clown fish population in the k + 1-th season is the same as the population in the k-th season). However, for each sea anemone present, an extra 0.2 clown fish are present in the next season. Similarly, in the absence of clown fish, the sea anemone population in the k + 1-th season is only 70% of the population in the k-th season. However, for each clown fish present, an extra 0.2 anemones are present the next season. (a) Write down difference equations for the number of clown fish and sea anemones in the k + 1-th season in terms of the clown fish ck and sea anemones az in the k-th season. (b) Write the system of difference equations above as a matrix equation, then diago- nalize the matrix.

Let A and B represent two variants (alleles) of the DNA at a certain locus on the genome. Let p represent the proportion of alleles in a population that are of type A, and let q represent the proportion of alleles that are of type B. The Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium principle states that the proportion PAB of organisms that are of type AB is equal to pq. In a population survey of a particular species, the proportion of alleles of type A is estimated to be 0.360 ± 0.048 and the proportion of alleles of type B is independently estimated to be 0.250 ± 0.043. a) Estimate the proportion of organisms that are of type AB, and find the uncertainty in the estimate. b) Find the relative uncertainty in the estimated proportion. c) Which would provide a greater reduction in the uncertainty in the proportion: reducing the uncertainty in the type A proportion to 0.02 or reducing the uncertainty in the type B proportion to 0.02?
4. By separating the variables convert the PDE into a system of ODES
Let A and B represent two variants (alleles) of the DNA at a certain locus on the genome. Assume that 40% of all the alleles in a certain population are type A and 30% are type B. The locus is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if the proportion of organisms that are of type AB is (0.40)(0.30) = 0.12. In a sample of 300 organisms, 42 are of type AB. Can you conclude that this locus is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

3. suppose that the manufacturer keeps a spare machine that only is used when the primary machine is being repaired. During a repair day, the spare machine has a probability of 0.1 of breaking down, in which case it is repaired the next day. Denote the state of the system by (x, y), where x and y, respectively, take on the values 1 or 0 depending upon whether the primary machine (x) and the spare machine (y) are operational (value of 1) or not operational (value of 0) at the end of the day. [Hint: Note that (0, 0) is not a possible state.] (a) Construct the (one-step) transition matrix for this Markov chain. (b) Find the expected recurrence time for the state (1, 0).
