Children and Poverty

Between 13.4 and 16.5 million American children live in poverty. While the federal government has set the

so-

called ‘poverty line’ at $23,050 of income per year for a family of four, many of America’s poor kids live

far below this line. The documentary follows three families with children over the course of a year. Long

interviews with the featured kids are punctuated by shorter interviews with their parents, most of whom

are unable to find full-time. work and struggle to meet even the most basic needs of their families

(http://www.popmatters.com/review/168096-

frontline-poor-kids/)

Write about a 3 page summary of the documentary (avoid quotes-use your own words and give detailed

examples from the documentary as you summarize what you watched)

Textbook: Gardner’sArtthroughtheAges:Non-Western Perspectives by Fred S. Kleiner, 13th Edition,
Instructions provided below

Guidelines:
1.Chapters 1 and 2, scan through the entire textbook, noting the range of cultures in Non-Western World

Art.
2.Choose a work of art from your own environment that has been inspired by or is from one of the Non-

Western World Cultures in the textbook, i.e., the work should be a non-western style. Look for something

similar in your home, work, restaurant, architecture, public spaces to which you currently have access, it

could be visual art or even a pattern on fabric or ceramic. You may look anywhere except on the internet

for this assignment. The goal is to see what exists around you inspired by or from these Non-Western

cultures.
3.Include your 2 images in your text: one is your finding and one is from the related culture in the

textbook. You may select an image from any culture in your textbook, regardless of the chapter, when

seeking out the culture you believe inspired the example in your environment.

Population Genetics Basic Hardy-Weinberg Dynamics and Migration

/in /by

A group of 460 individuals (with 0.8 allele frequency (p) for the A1 allele) have migrated into this population

(of 8,000 individuals from the previous pages). Assuming random mating among this group of migrants and

the resident population, what will be the frequency (p) of the A1 allele after a generation of random

mating? What will be the frequency (q) of the A2 allele after a generation of random mating?

Now consider a group of 3,000 migrants with 0.8 as the allele frequency (p) for the A1 allele. Assuming

random mating among this group of migrants and the resident population, what will be the frequency (p) of

the A1 allele? What will be the frequency (q) of the A2 allele?

Now consider a group of 3,000 migrants with 0.1 as the allele frequency (p) for the A1 allele. Assuming

random mating among this group of migrants and the resident population, what will be the frequency (p) of

the A1 allele? What will be the frequency (q) of the A2 allele?

What pattern do you see in the changes in allele and genotype frequencies of the initial population, given

the different migrant groups? Briefly explain the key characteristics of the different migrant groups

leading to these changes.

ICG, Inc has been struggling to launch a new product for the past 12 months.
Given the info below, what is the uncertainty distribution of the expected revenues of a new product?
The average price for the product can be minimally $10, most likely $12 and maximally $15.
Sales may be between 1,000 and 100,000 products, with most likely sales of 30,000.
Use the regular PERT distributions (see a description of the Pert distribution in @Risk) to determine:

1.Average expected total revenue
2.What is the probability that expected revenue will be less than $123,123
3.What is the probability that expected revenue will be higher than $800,000

OBS: Simulation settings: 5,000 iterations

Sampling Type: = Latin Hypercube
Initial Seed Fixed =123
RGN = Mersenne Twister
Multiple simulations All use same seeds

  1. What is the difference between choosing static values or random values for distribution returns when a

simulation is not running?
