Consider these facts. The husband weighs 130 kg (286 pounds) and the wife weighs 65 kg (143 pounds). Their servings of pufferfish each contained 0.10 mg of tetrodotoxin. Using these data, find a method to calculate the dose of tetrodotoxin that each person received. What dose (in mg/kg) of tetrodotoxin did each receive?

To estimate drug dosages, doctors use a patient’s body surface area (BSA)(in meters squared) using the formula BSA = √hm/60, where h is the height in centimeters and m is the mass in kilograms. Calculate the rate of change of BSA with respect to height for a person of constant mass m = 80 kg. Express answer in correct units.
An athlete tested positive for Methylhexaneamine in urine with a level of 0.90 µg/mL. At her appeal in the Court of Arbitration, she quotes a highly respected scientific publication that states that at levels of 1.0 µg/mL there is no performance enhancement. If the athlete’s levels are indeed below this threshold, the athlete can face a year’s suspension instead of a ban for life. Use the Estimate of Uncertainty to determine if the Athlete should be given a 1 year suspension or banned for life.
