A total of
a. Draw one histogram for height of the subjects and a separate histogram for weight. Use different colors for men and women so that you can visually compare the distributions by sex and plot weights in
b. Calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation for height and weight in men and women.
c. Compare the numerical values with the visual distribution of heights and weights you drew in the histograms and describe whether you think your visual impression matches the numerical values.

- Show the complete solution including the Punnett Sq. Lina has dimples, freckles, and a widow’s peak. She is a heterozygous for all of the three traits. David, her husband also has freckles and dimples but has a continuous hairline. As freckle is known to be dominant over none, dimples are dominant over no dimples, and widow’s peak is dominant over continuous hairline, what is the a) Probability that their child will have three recessiveness: no freckle, no dimples, and has widow’s peak; and b) Probability that their child will have the same phenotype as Lina (with freckles, dimples, and widow’s peak)? Legend: Ff – freckles Dd – dimples Ww – widow’s peakarrow_forward2 Nerissa has 5 pink bows, 1 blue bow, and 4 purple bows in a box. She will randomly choose 1 bow from the box.
