Human beings have 4 types of basic blood type: AB, A, B and O. In the US, about 43% of people are O type, 43% of people are A type, 10% of people are B type and 4% of people are AB type'. Now you are a doctor and have two patients waiting for blood transfusion. One of them has blood type O and can only accept blood type 0 transfusion; the other has blood type A and can receive either type O or A transfusion. Assume every donor's contribution can only support one patient (that is, one donor cannot donate blood to both patients). If you choose 5 donors randomly from the population, what's the probability that both of the patients are able to get blood transfusion? Round to four decimal places.

Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.

An undergraduate psychology course only gives the grades of A, B, C, or F. The department has determined that there should be 20% A's given, 30% B's given, 40% C's, and 10% F's given as final grades for the course. For the spring 2021 semester, 400 students took the course and 100 students received A's, 100 students received B's, 150 students received C's and 50 students received F's, so taose are my obsérved frequencies. We want to do a Chi-square Multinomial Goodness of Fit test to see if our grading guidelines match up with what is actually happening. What is the expected frequency for the grade of C category? Round your answer to the tenths position.
Due to pollution 25 percent of the people in a country suffer from a lung related desease and 10 percent have another desease. For simplicity we assume that there are no people having both this lung related desease and another desease. It is known that 50 percent of the people infected by this lung related desease needs to be hospitalized in a hospital. From historical data it is also known that 6 percent of the population needs to be hospitalized in a hospital due to other deseases then this lung related desease Compute the probability that a person needs to be hospitalized and the condi- tional probability that a person suffer from this lung related desease given that this person is hospitalized. The authorities do not know how many people in the country are suffering from this lung related desease and so the above 25 percent is not based on reality. To get an estimation of this percentage all the people in the country need to do some test to detect this lung related desease. The…
Three of the most dangerous risk factors for heart attack are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking. In a survey of 680 heart attack survivors, 62 had only high cholesterol among these three risk factors, 36 had only smoking and 93 had only high blood pressure. There were 370 total with high cholesterol, 158 with high blood pressure and cholesterol that didn't smoke, and 23 that smoked and had high cholesterol but not high blood pressure. Finally, 585 had at least one of these risk factors. Based on the given information, (assuming that a person can have high blood pressure without having high cholesterol) how many had high blood pressure and smoked? Illustrate the venn diagram
A researcher wonders if there an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of Vitamin C taken. He recruits 87 volunteers and randomly assigns 26 of them to take 500 mg of Vitamin C, 15 of them to take 1000 mg of Vitamin C and the rest to take no Vitamin C. At the end of the study, it was determined that 25 of the volunteers did not have any colds where 12 of them were in the 500 mg group, 8 of them were in the 1000 mg group, and the rest took no Vitamin C. Test the appropriate hypothesis at a = 0.05. Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary. Fill in the hypotheses below: Ho : There is not vitamin C taken. Ha: There is vitamin C taken. Complete the table of expected counts under the null hypothesis: No Vitamin C 500mg Vitamin C an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of 1000mg Vitamin C an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of At least one cold 18.529 10.69 No colds 13.218 10.69 Part 2 of 5
the Spotted Manumar has 4 different blood types: M, N, P and MN. Type MN is uncommon: 0.10 of them have this type. the rest 0.90 of the animals are equally split among the 3 other types. On another continent, there is another sub-species of the Manumar. The Furry Manumar also has the same 4 blood types and the researchers wonder if the proportions of bloodtypes matches that of the Spotted ones. Of 200 sampled Furry Manumars, 35 had bloodtype MN and the rest were evenly split. The test statistic for this Goodness of Fit Test can be computed to be 12.5. Determine the numeric portion of this number attributable to just the MN blood type.
