Question
A common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli, named after the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich, who identified it in 1885. A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes. The initial population of a culture is 50 cells.

- #14).arrow_forwardClean Fossil Fuels. In the article, “Squeaky Clean Fossil Fuels” (New Scientist, Vol. 186, No. 2497, p. 26), F. Pearce reported on the benefits of using clean fossil fuels that release no carbon dioxide (CO2), helping to reduce the threat of global warming. One technique of slowing down global warming caused by CO2 is to bury the CO2 underground in old oil or gas wells, coal mines, or porous rocks filled with salt water. Global estimates are that 11,000 billion tonnes of CO2 could be disposed of underground, several times more than the likely emissions of CO2 from burning fossil fuels in the coming century. This could give the world extra time to give up its reliance on fossil fuels. The following bar chart shows the distribution of space available to bury CO2 gas underground. a. Explain why the break is found in the third bar. b. Why was the graph constructed with a broken bar?arrow_forward1) Malaria is a disease that destroys red blood cells (the parasite invades red blood cells, multiplies, and then infects more red blood cells). In a recent study (Kotepul, et al., 2015) looking at various blood counts, the authors found the following results. Results are in billion red blood cells / cubic mm. Note that I have deliberately modified these results (do not use R): n ̄y s Low infection 527 4.16 2.23 High infection 157 4.51 2.34 Is there a difference in red blood cell count?(Hint: please think about this before you just start working on the problem!)arrow_forward
- A medical researcher claims that the proportion of patients receiving 200 mg of a newly-developed influenza vaccine who go on to contract influenza strain X is less than the proportion of patients receiving 200 mg of last year's influenza vaccine who contract influenza strain X. Of 320 patients who are given last year's vaccine, 114 contract influenza strain X. Of 350 patients who are given the new vaccine, 112 of them contract influenza strain X. Let PN be the proportion of patients receiving the newly-developed vaccine and pL be the proportion of patients receiving last year's vaccine. State the null and alternative hypotheses and the value of the test statistic. Ho: PN =PL versus HA: PN > PL; Test statistic: Z = 0.99 Ho: PN=PL versus HA: PN > PL; Test statistic: Z = 1.55 Ho: PN-PL versus HA: PN PL; Test statistic: Z= 1.55 Ho: PN-PL versus HA: PN PL; Test statistic: Z= 0.99arrow_forward_) Jane bakes sourdough loaves, which are full of gluten. Unfortunately, John is allergic to gluten and wants to bake gluten-free loaves. John does not have their own “starter” (a mix of yeast, flour, and water that makes a loaf rise in the oven). Jane's starter is 50g of water and 50g of flour with gluten, and a microscopic amount of yeast that we will ignore. Jane gives John 50g of her starter. For John's first loaf, they replace the missing half of their starter with 25 g of gluten-free flour and 25g of water. This means their starter is now 25g of gluten-free flour, 25g of flour with gluten, and 50g of water. Once the yeast in this starter is fully activated, John is ready to make their first loaf. To bake the loaf they mix 50 g (half) of the starter with 225g of gluten-free flour and 225g of water, meaning the loaf is alwaysarrow_forwardAn experiment that was carried out to study how flow rate through a solenoid valve in an automobile's pollution-control system depended on three factors: armature lengths, spring load, and bobbin depth. Four different levels (low, moderate, high, and extreme) of each factor were chosen, and a single observation on flow was made for each combination of levels. The resulting data set consisted of how many observations? Show how you derived your answer.arrow_forward

Even on a car, the tyres can wear out after travelling differentdistances, due to cornering, braking and wheel alignment. Manufacturers of car tyresare interested in the average distance in kilometres travelled by tyres, or the lifetime of tyres until they are considered un-usable and need tobe replaced. At this time a tyre is considered unroadworthy. E) The lifetime T in thousands of km of brand E of car tyres, satisfies a probability density function given by. f(t)=(at^2 0=t=50, b(100-t) 50=t=100, 0 elsewhere) i) Show that a = 3/312500 and b= 3/6250 ii) For 36 tyres of brand E, find the expected number that will last longer than 40,000 km. iii)Sketch the graph of T on the axes below, clearly labelling the scale. iv) Find the expected value and variance of brand E car tyres. v) Find the probability that the lifetime of brand E car tyres lies within two standard…arrow_forwardAssume that producing 1 unit of calcium requires 0.4 units of calcium, 0.1 units of hydrogen, and 0.1 units of sea salt; that producing 1 nit of hydrogen requires 0.2 units of calcium, 0.3 units of hydrogen, and 0.1 units of sea salt; and that producing 1 unit of sea salt equires 3 units of calcium, 0 units of hydrogen, and 0.2 units of sea salt.

- Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.arrow_forwardCalcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and has several important functions. Most body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, where it functions to support their structure. Recommendations for calcium are provided in Dietary Reference Intakes, developed by the Institution of Medicine of rhe National Academy of Sciences. The recommended adequate intake (RAI) of calcium for adults (ages 19-50 years) is 1000 milligrams (mg) per day. Suppose that we want to perform a hypothesis test to decide whether the average adult with an income below the poverty level gets less than the RAI of 1000mg. a. Determine the null hypothesis for the hypothesis test. b. Determine the alternative hypothesis for the hypothesis test. c. Classify the hypothesis test as two tailed,left tailed or right tailed.arrow_forward#14).arrow_forward
