A particular bacteria under study triples in population every 24 hours if left untreated. Once an organism gets contact with this bacteria, initially an average count of 8 may be acquired and is notable to be enough to potentially increase and harm the organism. If no treatment will be given for a week, how many bacteria are expected to grow in population in the organism?

Cardiovascular Disease Suppose the incidence rate of myocardial infarction (MI) was 5 per 1000 among 45- to 54-year-old men in 2000. To look at changes in incidence over time, 5000 men in this age group were followed for 1 year starting in 2010. Fifteen new cases of MI were found. Suppose that 25% of patients with Mi in 2000 died within 24 hours. This propartion is called the 24-hour case-fatality rate. Of the 15 new MI cases in the preceding study. 5 died within 24 hours. Test whether the 24-hour case- fatality rate changed from 2000 to 2010.
In a certain year, it was estimated that 1,000,000 of the 307,000,000 residents of the United States are HIV-positive. (HIV is the virus that is believed to cause AIDS.) The Repeatedly Reactive Immunoassay (RRIA) diagnostic test correctly diagnoses the presence of AIDS/HIV 99.7% of the time and correctly diagnoses its absence 98.5% of the time. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Find the probability that a person whose test results are positive actually has HIV.(b) Find the probability that a person whose test results are negative does not have HIV.(c) Find the probability that a person whose test results are positive does not have HIV.(d) Find the probability that a person whose test results are negative actually has HIV.(e) Which of the probabilities would you be interested in if you or someone close to you tested positive? the probability that a person whose test results are positive actually has HIVthe probability that a person whose test results are negative does not…
Two geysers that are near to each other are labelled as Geyser A and Geyser B. The time between eruptions for a given geyser follows an exponential distribution. The eruption times of the two geysers are independent of one another. The mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser A is 39 minutes, and the mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser B is 66 minutes. Given that exactly one of the geysers erupts within the next 49 minutes, determine the probability that it will be Geyser A. O 0.6654 0.7850 O 0.7252 O 0.6953 O 0.7551
The Environmental Protection Agency is concerned with the problem of setting criteria for the amounts of certain toxic chemicals to be allowed in freshwater lakes and rivers. A common measure of toxicity for any pollutant is the concentration of the pollutant that will kill half of the test species in a given amount of time (usually 96 hours for fish species). This measure is called LC50 (lethal concentration killing 50% of the test species). In many studies, the values contained in the natural logarithm of LC50 measurements are normally distributed, and, hence, the analysis is based on In(LC50) data. Suppose that n = 30 observations are to be taken on In(LC50) measurements and that o 0² = 1.7. Let S² denote the sample variance of the 30 measurements. (a) Find a number b such that P(S² ≤ b) = 0.975. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) b = (b) Find a number a such that P(a ≤ S²) = 0.975. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) a = (c) If a and b are as in parts (a) and…
A person with tuberculosis is given a chest x-ray. Four tuberculosis x-ray specialists examine each x-ray independently. If each specialist can detect tuberculosis 83% of the time when it is present, what is the probabilty that at least 1 of the specialists will detect a person positive.
An analysis of first-year students at a college revealed that 1/5 of the first-year women were from homes where both parents were professionals. Of these, 3/4 were interested in the same profession as one or both of their parents. If this latter group is made up of 15 students, how many first-year women are there?
In one study, researchers at McGill University recruited127 people with high cholesterol and split them into twogroups. One took a probiotic supplement twice a dayfor nine weeks, while the second group took a placebo.The probiotic group saw their total cholesterol drop by 9 percent and their LDL, or “bad cholesterol,” fall almost12 percent. In a different study, conducted in Britain,80 volunteers “were given probiotics for six weeks andthen switched, later on, to a placebo. That study found nodifference in cholesterol levels when the subjects took thesupplement versus the dummy pills.”Which of the following is true: a) The McGill study is a controlled randomized experi-ment, while the British study is an observational study. b) The McGill study is a completely randomized ex-periment, while the British study is a matched pairs experiment.c) The results from the McGill study are more validbecause it includes blinding while the British studydoes not.d) We have reason to believe that the…
We're interested in whether warm milk helps people go to sleep faster. We have a lab with EEG monitors that will provide us with data as to how many minutes elapse before someone falls asleep. (People spend the night in the lab.) In the first experimental condition, participants fall asleep as they usually do, without warm milk. In the second condition, participants drink 6 oz. of warm milk before going to sleep. Data for 5 participants is shown in the table below. Choose the appropriate type of t- test (independent samples or paired samples) and conduct the t-test and hypothesis test. Be sure to show all of your calculations either on your scratch work or in this text box. DO: Include the t-test value and your hypothesis test conclusion in this test box, not just in your scratch work.

In late July 2016, the Ohio Department of Health collected vials of water from 12 beaches on Lake Erie to investigate water quality. Those vials were being tested for E. coli bacteria which are found in human and animal feces and can cause illness and disease, should a swimmer accidentally ingest some water. These beaches had been found to be safe earlier in the summer with E. coli counts, on average of 88 per 100-millileter vial (about 3.4 ounces). However, E. coli counts can change due to weather and other variables. Experts consider it unsafe if a vial contains more than 88 E. coli bacteria. The mean E. coli count in the 12 vials was found to be 113.75 with a standard deviation of 93.9. Is this evidence that the water is unsafe? Test at the 1% level of significance. a) State the hypotheses. b) Find the test statistic and p-value. c) Based on your p-value, state whether or not you will reject the null hypothesis and a statement of your findings, relating back to the problem.
