The maximum patent life for a drug is 17 years. Subtracting the length of time required by the FDA for testing and approval of the drug provides the actual patent life for the drug that is, the length of time that the company has to recover research and development costs and to make a profit. The distribution of the lengths of actual patent lives for new drugs is given below, where Y is a random variable representing actual patent life of a drug (in years): y P(Y=y) F(y) 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 0.06 0.08 0.11 0.15 0.22 0.18 0.12 0.08 a) Complete the table above with the cumulative probability distribution for actual patent life (F(y) = P(Y ≤ y)). b) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is 6 years or less? c) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is more than 8 years? Show this in two ways: i. using the probability distribution for Y ii. using the cumulative probability distribution for Y, and applying our probability of comple-…
Areas under normal distribution curves can be used calculate probabilities of many random variables in the natural and social sciences. The graph of the Standard Normal Curve, with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 is given below, and its function is given by 1 f(x) = √2T e 1 The integral of e dx would be used to calculate the probability of an event that occurs √2T -1.5 between -1.5 to 1.5 standard deviations from the mean.

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual.
