Jarrid Medical, Inc., is developing a compact kidney dialysis machine, but its chief engineer, Mike Crowe, is having trouble controlling the variability of the rate at which fluid moves through the device. Medical standards require that the hourly flow be 4 liters, plus or minus 0.1 liter, 80 percent of the time. Mr. Crowe, in testing the prototype, has found that 68 percent of the time, the hourly flow is within 0.08 liter of 4.02 liters. Does the prototype satisfy the medical standards?

According to the CDC, cholesterol levels can be reduced by following a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and reducing the amount of alcohol consumed on a weekly basis. One method of monitoring overall cholesterol levels is to calculate your cholesterol ratio (LDL/HDL), in general a cholesterol ratio between 3.5 and 5.0 is considered to be healthy for most adults. Suppose you are a clinical researcher testing the effects of these lifestyle changes on patient cholesterol levels. In order to determine if following these guidelines helps to reduce overall cholesterol, a total of 18 participants (N = 18) with moderate to high cholesterol ratios (i.e., 3.91 to > 5.0) were recruited for a healthy lifestyle study and their cholesterol ratio was calculated three times over a six week period: Week 0 (baseline), Week 3, and Week 6. Using the variables "Week 0", "Week 3", and "Week 6" in the data set, conduct a One-Way, Within Subjects (AKA Repeated Measures) ANOVA, at α = 0.05, to see…
Some bottles of bubble bath have gone past their expiration date. The employees want to know if the expired bubble bath produces a significantly different amount of bubbles. They know that a fresh bottle of bubble bath produces a 124 cubic inches (in3) of bubbles with a SD of 8 in3. After testing 16 bottles, they find the average expired bottle produces 130 in3 of bubbles. Imagine we KNOW that a treatment does not actually have an effect but the researcher concludes there is an effect.
In the table below is a column of masses for various individuals. 20 Kg (kllograms), for instance, is a typical mass for a young child while 80 kg Is characteristic of an adult's mass, If you were to travel to the Moon, your weight would change but your mass would remain the same. Roughly speaking, mass is a measure of the amount of "stuff" you're made of (matter). In the United States we commonly measure weight using the English pound. Another common unit for measuring weight is the Newton. The second column in the table shows the corresponding weight, in Newtons, for each individual. These are the weights on Earth. Plot each pair of numbers as an ordered pair on the graph. Use the vertical ("y") axis for the weights and the horizontal ("x") axis for mass. Label your axes. Draw a best fit line through the points and measure the slope of this line. On your plot, mark and circle the points you use to determine the slope. The slope gives you the "weight per unit mass" here on Earth. In…
The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is commonly found on the skin and rarely causes major problems. If it gets under the skin or into the lungs it can cause boils or pneumonia. If the strain of bacterium causing these problems is resistant to methicillin, the infections can be life threatening. Methicillin resistant Staphy- lococcus aureus or MRSA is, therefore, a major concern in hospitals and clinics. Given the death rate from MRSA lung infections is 20%, if 20 patients are admitted in the hospital find the following probabilities: (a) Less than 3 die (b) At least 3 die. (c) Between 6 and 3 die.
In North America, between 100 million and 1 billion birds die each year by crashing into windows on buildings, more than any other human-related cause. This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. a. Clearly state an appropriate…
Xenical is used to treat obesity in people with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol or triglycerides. Xenical works in the intestines, where it blocks some of the fat a person eats from being absorbed. A standard prescription of Xenical is given in 110-milligram (mg) capsules. Although the capsule weights can vary somewhat from 110 mg and also from each other, keeping the variation small is important for various medical reasons. A sample of 26 Xenical capsules had the weight shown in the table below: 109.9 110.1 109.9 109.7 110.1 109.7 110.2 110.1 110 110 110.2 110 109.9 110.1 109.9 110.1 109.9 109.9 109.9 110.1 110 109.9 109.9 110 110.1 110.3 The mean of the data set is 110; the sample standard deviation is 0.143. Assuming that the population is normal, construct a 95% confidence interval for the variance of all Xenical capsule weights. i. Procedure: Select an answer ii.

A pharmaceutical company wanted to study the effectiveness of a new hair growth product in women. It recruited 1100 random women from the L.A. area and measured the length of their hair. They gave 500 women the new product in unmarked bottles to use over a 6-month period. The other 600 women received unmarked bottles with mostly water and fragrance to use over a 6-month period. None of the women knew which product they received. They found that 450 out of 500 women that received the new product showed hair growth of 1-2 inches. Only 90 out of 600 women that used the water/fragrance combination showed hair growth of 1-2 inches. Women who received the treatment are Blank %/ blank % = Blank times to show hair growth.
In an M/MA queueing system, the arrival rate is 5 customers per hour and the service rate is 9 customers per hour. If the service process is automated (resulting in no variation in service times but the same service rate), what will be the resulting performance measurements?

During one the nurse’s hourly assessments, Ana is lethargic, her respirations are 8/minute and her DTRs are absent. The nurse identifies this as magnesium sulfate toxicity and after informing the obstetrician the following is ordered: stat magnesium level, stop the magnesium infusion, calcium gluconate, 1 gm IVP over 3 mins. One hour later her magnesium level is 7 mg , therapeutic for preeclampsia (4.7 to 8 mg/dl). The nurse evaluates the intervention. The patient has normal CNS functioning; is alert and oriented; respiratory rate is 16; DTR 2+, and urine output 75 mL so the magnesium sulfate is restarted at 1 g/hr per provider order. With the same solution of 40 g/liter, at what rate (mL/hr) would the nurse set the infusion pump?
Burping (also known as "belching" or "eructation") is one way the human body expels excess gas in your digestive system. It occurs when your stomach fills with air, which can be caused by swallowing food and liquids. Drinking carbonated beverages, such as soda, is known to increase burping because its bubbles have tiny amounts of carbon dioxide in them. As an avid soda drinker and statistics student, you notice you tend to burp more after drinking root beer than you do after drinking cola. You decide to determine whether there is a difference between the number of burps while drinking a root beer and while drinking a cola. To determine this, you select 20 students at random from high school, have each drink both types of beverages, and record the number of burps. You randomize which beverage each participant drinks first by flipping a coin. Both beverages contain 12 fluid ounces. Here are the results: Participant 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Root beer 6 8 7 7…
A typical treatment for Acinetobacter baumannii infection, for example, is a regimen of ampicillin, consisting of 250 mg, 4 times a day for 1 week. But antibiotics are used for a variety of medical issues by many people in the United States. Based on this information, estimate the weight, in kilograms, of ALL antibiotics ingested by people in the US each year. State any other assumptions and show all of your work.
