Exercise 5

As described in the Inquiry Analysis, an inherited trait among humans in Norway causes affected individuals to have very wavy hair, not unlike that of a sheep. The trait, called woolly, is very evident when it occurs in families; no child possesses woolly hair unless at least one parent does. Imagine you are a Norwegian judge, and you have before you a woolly haired man suing his normal-haired wife for divorce because their first child has woolly hair but their second child has normal hair. The husband claims this constitutes evidence of his wife's infidelity. Do you accept his claim Justify your decision.
