- A team of UMD students have invented an inhalable drug that they think will help people breathe better during hard exercise. They test the drug on 3 volunteers (A, B, and C) by measuring their levels of arterial oxygen before receiving the drug (their base level) and then after 5 and 10 minutes have elapsed, respectively. The results are listed in the table. Oxygen level [mmHg] A B C base level 847076 after 5 minutes 85 74 81 after 10 minutes 90 75 98 We want to see how the drug work (better or worse) when compared to the base level.

ICUs are often the most expensive department in a hospital because of the specialized equipment and extensive training required to be an ICU doctor or nurse. Therefore, it is important to use ICUs as efficiently as possible in a hospital. According to a 2017 arge-scale study of elderly ICU patients, the average length of stay in the ICU is 3.4 days (Critical Care Medicine journal article). Assume that this length of stay in the ICU has an exponential distribution. Do not round intermediate calculations. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less (to 4 decimals)? 2857 b. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days (to 4 decimals)?
