A pharmacist is managing inventory of an over-the-counter (OTC) product. Over the past 30 days, the pharmacy has sold 18 bottles of the OTC product. A case of the OTC product contains 16 bottles. How many days should one case of this OTC product last if future sales follow the same pattern as past sales?

An epidemiologists is studying two populations that have recently had an outbreak of a disease with similar symptoms. In one population of 600 people, 450 of them became infected and 3 of them died. In the other population of 200 people, 20 were infected and 10 died. Did the two towns have an outbreak of the same disease? Defend your answer. Use prevalence and mortality rates to help you.
Our family brought lots of hot dogs along on our latest camping trip. However, after setting up the tent, we didn’t take care to make sure that the food was safe – and raccoons ate 1/3 of the hot dogs! Grumbling, we cleaned up the mess, then ate 6 hot dogs for lunch. But we forgot to put the rest away when we went hiking, and lost 1/4 of our dwindling supply to jays! Just as a precaution, Mom went to the store and bought enough hot dogs to increase our supply by 2/3. Our campsite neighbors, however, ran out of food, so we gave them 2/9 of our remaining hot dogs and then ate 11 hot dogs for our dinner. That night, bears got 3/4 of the last part of our supply, and in the morning there were only 6 hot dogs left! How many hot dogs did we start with? (Next time maybe we should just bring granola bars...)
After running a mile a day over a period of two weeks, the average amount of weight loss is 2.5 pounds. A dietitian, who publishes health articles in a newspaper, states their new diet program helps with additional weight loss when combining their special diet with running a mile a day over a period of two weeks. Interested in studying the dietitian's article further, you ask friends who have tried the dietitian's new program and you determine their weight loss to be 3.0 pounds in a two-week period, on average. As you set up a hypothesis test to determine if the dietitian's article is correct, what is the dietitian's claim?
Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and in slope-intercept form. x-intercept = 315 == 15 and y-intercept = 1 Type the point-slope form of the equation of the line. 7 (Use integers or simplified fractions for any numbers in the equation.)
Some commercial airlines recirculate about half the air in the cabin during flights as a way to improve fuel efficiency. Other airlines make a policy of NOT recirculating the air and instead, have fresh air from the atmosphere constantly being inserted into the cabin with the “old” air being pumped out of the plane. A total of 1100 passengers flying from San Francisco to Denver were used for an experiment. After their flight, they were each given a list of symptoms associated with the common cold. They were asked to report if they experienced cold symptoms within 24 hours of the flight landing. Of the 517 passengers who flew on planes that recirculate the air, 108 reported post-flight cold symptoms. Of the 583 passengers who flew on airlines that do not use recirculation in the cabin, 110 reported symptoms. Suppose now that we want to use the recirculation of air data to explore “Goal #2”, which is to resolve a hypothesis test about . a) If we want to resolve this hypothesis…
A researcher believed that the number of rental cars in service by a car rental company would have an impact on the total annual revenue for that car rental company. Five small car rental companies were surveyed, with the number of Cars in service recorded in units of 1000 (so if a car rental company had 54000 cars in service, a 54 would be recorded) and Annual Revenue measured in millions of dollars (so an Annual Revenue of $10,000,000 would be recorded as 10). The data follows: Cars (1,000s) Annual Revenue ($ millions)11.5 118 10.0 135 9.0 100 5.5 37 3.3 32 Part of the Excel-generated Simple Linear Regression output is provided below: ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression 1 7891.863897 7891.863897 22.91180151 0.017339231 Residual 3 1033.336103 344.4453677 Total 4 8925.2 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept -19.12490108 23.1658578…
As humans we consume food. The body extracts good things such as proteins and vitamins and throws away waste. A typical waste product is uric acid. High levels of uric acid can be an indication of conditions such as gout, kidney disease, and cancer. For females a high level of uric acid is 6 mg/dL or more and for males a high level of uric acid is 7 mg/dL or more. Suppose, over a period of months, an adult female was given 5 blood tests for uric acid. The results of each blood test are shown below. results 6.75 6.68 12.07 10.29 6.68 The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult females is normally distributed with known population standard deviation, σ=2.09σ=2.09 mg/dl.Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of uric acid in this adult female's blood. Assume the sample of blood tests were given in a way that's equivalent to a simple random sample.

AJ’s sleep pattern had been fluctuating due to stress and diet, so he started to keep a diary of how many hours he slept each night. On the 4th night after he started the diary, AJ slept 9.4 hours, which was the most sleep he got any night. Gradually, he got less sleep each successive night until, on the 18th night after he started the diary, AJ slept 6.2 hours, which was the least sleep he got any night. After keeping his diary for 6 months, he realized that the number of hours he got each night followed a sinusoidal curve. Let t be the number of nights since he started his diary, and s be how many hours he slept that night. It may be helpful to draw a crude sketch of the sleep time function and label the known t − and s − values on it. POSITIVE or NEGATIVE SIN or COS Maximum s − value = Minimum s − value = ______________ ______________ Middle s − value = ______________ = D Amplitude = ______________ = A ⇒ B = ______________ Given the crude sketch of the height function, the…
An aerosolized vaccine for measles was developed in Mexico and has been used on 44 million children since 1980. Aerosolized vaccines have the advantages of being able to be administered by people without clinical training and do not cause injection‐associated infections. The percentage of children developing an immune response to measles after receiving the subcutaneous injection of the vaccine is 95%,95%, and for those receiving the aerosolized vaccine, it is 85%85% . There are 2020 children to be vaccinated for measles using the aerosolized vaccine in a small rural village in India. We are going to count the number who developed an immune response to measles after the vaccination. (b) What is the probability that at least one child does not develop an immune response to measles after receiving the aerosolized vaccine? (Enter your answer as a proportion rounded to four decimal places.)
The shortage of organs for transplant is a continuing problem. At the end of 2000, there were 3536 people waiting for a heart transplant, 3355 for a lung transplant, 16,012 for a liver transplant, and 46,824 for a kidney transplant. Corresponding figures for 2003 were 3292, 3543, 16,985, and 56,590, respectively. In 2006, the figures were 2625, 2691, 16,882, and 68,412, respectively.
