DETAILS MY NOTES BBBASICSTA 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 44 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 e 8.00 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. When finding an 99% confidence interval, what is the critical value for confidence level?

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 44 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 o = 8.00 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.
