- Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 50 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.20 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.arrow_forwardTest the claim that 73% of women shoppers remained loyal to their favorite supermarket in the last year.

- Previously, 4% of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician believes that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 cigarettes or more is less than 4% today. She randomly selects 115 pregnant mothers and finds that 3 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy.

Subtracting the length of time required by the FDA for testing and approval of the drug provides the actual patent life for the drug that is, the length of time that the company has to recover research and development costs and to make a profit. The distribution of the lengths of actual patent lives for new drugs is given below, where Y is a random variable representing actual patent life of a drug (in years): y P(Y=y) F(y) 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 0.06 0.08 0.11 0.15 0.22 0.18 0.12 0.08 a) Complete the table above with the cumulative probability distribution for actual patent life (F(y) = P(Y ≤ y)). b) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is 6 years or less? c) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is more than 8 years?

As each component is selected, it is tested. If it passes the test, a success (S) occurs; if it fails the test, a failure (F) occurs. Assume that 82.0% of the components in the lot will succeed in passing the test. Let X represent the number of successes among the three sampled components. Find P(X= 3).
