Suppose that allele D produces big ears in terriers and allele d produces normal ears. Big ears is anautosomal dominant trait expressed with 60% penetrance (the trait appears 60% of the time anindividual has the corresponding genotype(s)). A heterozygous male with the Dd genotype mateswith a homozygous female with the dd genotype. What is the probability their offspring will have bigears?O 30%O 50%60%O 20%O 15%

Trisomy 18 (T18) is a rare genetic disorder that severely disrupts a baby's development prior to birth. Many die before birth and most die before their first birthday. T18 occurs in only 1 in 2500 pregnancies in the U.S. A genetic test on the mother's blood can be done to test for T18 in her baby. The overall probability of a positive test result is 0.010384. The probability of a positive test result for a baby with T18 is 0.97. The probability of a negative test result for a baby without T18 is 0.99. A mother's blood tests positive for T18. What is the probability that her baby has T18? (A) 0.0004 (B) 0.0374 (C) 0.4902 (D) 0.97 (E) 0.99
A study was conducted to determine if the results of a test indicated whether a disease was present or not in 200 trials. The results are listed in the table below. Presence of Disease Test Result Total + Result − Result Present 84 3 87 Not Present 7 106 113 Total 91 109 200 What is the probability that a randomly selected subject received positive results or they received negative results?
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which red blood cells become distorted and deprived of oxygen. A person with two sickle cell genes will have the disease, but a person with only one sickle cell gene will have a mild, non-fatal anemia called sickle cell trait. Using S to represent the sickle cell gene, and s a healthy gene, the table shows the four possibilities for the children of two Ss parents. Find the probability that these parents give birth to a child who has sickle cell anemia. Second Parent First Parent Ss sS P(child has sickle cell anemia) =| (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
The genotype of an organism can be either normal (wild type, W) or mutant (M). Each generation, a wild type individual has probability 0.03 of having a mutant offspring, and a mutant has probability 0.005 of having a wild type offspring.
In a recent survey, it was found that the meadian income of families in country A was $57,100. What is the probability that a randomly selected family has an income less than $57,100
According to a study, 81% of K-12 schools or districts in a country use digital content such as ebooks, audio books, and digital textbooks. Of these 81%, 6 out of 10 use digital content as part of their curriculum. Find the probability that a randomly selected school or district uses digital content and uses it as part of their curriculum. The probability that a randomly selected school or district uses digital content and uses it as part of their curriculum is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Disco Fever is randomly found in one half of one percent of the general population. Testing a swatch of clothing for the presence of polyester is 99% effective in detecting the presence of this disease. The test also yields a false positive in 4% of the cases where the disease is not present. What is the probability that the disease is absent if the test result is negative?
Five percent of all blue ray players manufactured by a large electronics company are defective. A quality control inspector randomly selects three players from the production line. What is the probability that exactly one of these three blue ray players is defective?
An assembly line produces a tool. The parts are independently sampled one at a time and tested for compliance. Historically, 0.15 of the parts have been found to be non-compliant. What is the probability that the 6th sampled part will be the 3rd part found to be non-compliant?
A couple decides to have children. Both the mother and father are normally pigmented but are carriers of the recessive gene for albinism. Considering that the chance of the mother giving birth to a girl is 0.48 and for a boy is 0.52, what is the probability that the couple will have 1 normally pigmented boy, 2 albino girls, and 2 albino boys in any order?
A certain group of women has a 0.06% rate of red/green color blindness. If a woman is randomly selected, what is the probability that she does not have red/green color blindness?
