QUESTION 8
Australian government legislation states that products containing more than 10 grams per kilogram of genetically modied material must be identied as genetically modied. It has been discovered that a canola crop contains genetically modied canola. The grower needs to know whether or not the crop must be identied as genetically modied. The crop is divided into sections. These sections, taken collectively,, can be considered to be a population. collectively Tests are undertaken on a randomly chosen sample of fty sections and x, the amount of genetically modied canola per kilogram in each section, is measured. The mean amount of genetically modied canola in the fty sections is x = 9.21 grams per kilogram.
(a) (i) Calculate a 95% condence condence interval for the amount of genetically modied canola in the crop. Assume that the population has a standard deviation of σ = 0.74 grams per kilogram.

QUESTION 16
The life cycle of salmon can be divided into three main stages: eggs, smolts (immature sh), and adult salmon. It takes 2 years for eggs to hatch and mature into smolts and then 2 more years for smolts to mature into adult salmon. Fisheries scientists have studied the population of a type of salmon living in a particular lake and have developed the following simple model for the female component of this population of salmon: • 1.6% of eggs hatch and survive for the 2 years needed to mature into smolts. • 4.1% of the smolts survive for the 2 years needed to mature into adult salmon. • Adult salmon spawn 1500 female eggs and then die. The scientists estimate that in 2006 the female component of this population of salmon was made up of 384 000 eggs, 7100 smolts, and 257 adult salmon.
(a) Using the model above for this population of salmon, calculate the number of female eggs, smolts, and adult salmon that there will be in 2008.

A type of trout also lives in this lake and has a life cycle similar to that of salmon. Fisheries scientists observe that a proportion of female adult trout survive their rst spawning of eggs and return 2 years later to have a second spawning. The scientists have developed the following simple model for the female component of this population of trout: • • • • •
1.3% of eggs hatch and survive for the 2 years needed to mature into smolts. 3.5% of the smolts survive for the 2 years needed to mature into adult trout. At their rst spawning the adult trout produce 2500 female eggs. 15% of adult trout survive for 2 more years to have a second spawning. At their second spawning the adult trout produce 1500 female eggs and then die.
The scientists estimate that in 2006 the female component of this population of trout was made up of 75 600 eggs, 12 100 smolts, 417 rst-spawning adult trout, and 63 second-spawning adult trout.
(d) Write down the matrices L and X such that the matrix multiplication LX will calculate the number of female eggs, smolts, rst-spawning adults, and second-spawning adults in this population of trout in 2008.
