Chapter 2.A, Problem 94E

Measuring drops. Medication is often delivered through an intravenous (IV) drip line that allows a prescribed amount of a drug to be administered at a fixed rate. In this medical context, the standard abbreviation for a drop is gtt(from the Latin gutta, for drop). Each delivery system has a particular frop factor, which is the number of drops per milliliter of solution (with units gtt/mL).

a. A particular macrodrip system has a drop factor of 20gtt/mL. how many drops are in a 0.5L bag of normal saline?

b. A particular macrodrip system has a drop factor of 60gtt/mL. How many drops are in a 1.5L bag of D5W (dextrose)solution?

c. Suppose an entire 1L bag of normal saline is administered in five hours through a system with a drop factor of 15gtt/mL. How many drops were delivered? What was the rate of infusion in gtt/min?

Rapid drainage of floodwater is crucial to prevent damage during heavy rains. Several designs for a drainage canal were considered for a certain city. Each design was tested five times, to determine how long it took to drain the water reservoir. The following table presents the drainage times, in minutes. Channel Type Drainage Time 1 41.4 43.4 50.0 40.9 24.1 24.2 2 38.7 48.3 51.3 38.4 25.0 29.2 3 32.7 33.8 34.4 22.6 24.5 30.0 4 26.1 31.0 33.4 23.6 26.5 31.7 5 44.7 47.0 48.6 36.9 38.9 45.9 Construct an ANOVA table.

According to data from a Texas agricultural report, the amount of nitrogen (in lbs/acre), phosphate (in lbs/acre), and labor (in hr/acre) needed to grow honeydews, yellow onions, and lettuce is given in the following table. Source: The AMATYC Review. Let Nitrogen Phosphate Labor Phosphate (in lbs): Labor (in hours): Honeydews 120 180 4.97 h = # of acres of honeydew, y = # of acres of yellow onions, and 1=# of acres of lettuce planted. Assuming that the farmer has 26800 lb of nitrogen, 25000 lb of phosphate, 400 hours of labor, and 290 acres available for planting, write down a system of equations for the resources. Nitrogen (in lbs): Acreage (in acres): Yellow Onions 150 80 4.45 Lettuce 180 80 4.65

Water quality measurements are taken daily on the River Ouse at Clapham, England. The concentrations of chlorides and phosphates in solution, given below in milligrams per liter, are determined over a 30-day period. Chloride: 64.0, 66.0, 64.0, 62.0, 65.0, 64.0, 64.0, 65.0, 65.0, 67.0, 67.0, 74.0, 69.0, 68.0, 68.0, 69.0, 63.0, 68.0, 66.0, 66.0, 65.0, 64.0, 63.0, 66.0, 55.0, 69.0, 65.0, 61.0, 62.0, 62.0 Phosphate: 1.31, 1.39, 1.59, 1.68, 1.89, 1.98, 1.97, 1.99, 1.98, 2.15, 2.12, 1.90 1.92, 2.00, 1.90, 1.74, 1.81, 1.86, 1.86, 1.65, 1.58, 1.74, 1.89, 1.94, 2.07, 1.58, 1.93, 1.72, 1.73, 1.82 COMPARE the coefficients of variation and DEDUCE the correlation coefficient.
