Assume you have been breeding roaches in your dorm and are trying to increase the speed in your roach population. You examine speed by timing how quickly the roaches race along the linear track in your dorm room. Your current population mean is 8.4 feet/second (ft/sec) with a standard deviation of 0.25 ft/sec. You selected the fastest 5% of your current population to be parents of the next generation. The broad and narrow sense heritability values for racing speed in roaches are 0.75 and 0.62, respectively. You wish to develop a faster population of roaches. Round all answers properly to three decimal digits.
The numerical value for the standardized selection point is ______.
The numerical value for the truncation point is ______ ft/sec.
The numerical value for the selection intensity is ______.
Calculate the selection differential. S = _______ft/sec.
The mean of the selected parents is _______ ft/sec.
The response to selection is ________ ft/sec.
The mean of the progeny generation is ________ ft/sec.
