You are hired by Murphey Farms to decrease the backfat in their hogs. The current hog population has a mean backfat content of 20.2mm. You selected the hogs with the smallest amount of backfat, mated them and obtained the progeny generation. The selected hogs had a mean backfat content of 9.5mm. You know that the heritability for percent backfat in hogs is 0.47.
1. What is the selection differential? Round your values properly to 2 decimal digits.
2. What is the expected response to selection? Round your values properly to 2 decimal digits.
3. What is the expected mean of the progeny generation? Round your values properly to 2 decimal digits.
