Much to your mom's distress, you have been raising sand fleas in your bedroom. You want to increase the speed of your sand flea population in hope of breeding a champion who can win the annual Carolina Beach Sand Flea race in August. Your current population's speed is 8.89 feet/second with a standard deviation of 1.51 feetisec. You selected the fastest 5% of your current population to be parents of the next generation. The broad sense and realized heritability values for racing speed in sand fleas are 0.89 and 0.78, respectively. You wish to develop a faster population of sand fleas! What is the truncation point for this experiment in feet/second? Round your answer properly to three decimal digits. Answer Calculate the selection differential in feet/second. Round your answer properly to three decimal digits.
