The physical fitness of an athlete is often measured by how much oxygen the athlete takes in (which is recorded in milliliters per kilogram, ml/kg). The mean maximum oxygen uptake for elite athletes has been found to be 70 with a standard deviation of 9.5 Assume that the distribution is approximately normal. What is the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of 65 ml/kg or lower?

Information on morphine: Morphine can be administered via injection / IV. The quantity of morphine in a given dose may vary, but one guideline is to use 0.1 mg of morphine for each kg of the patient's body mass. The time taken for half the quantity of morphine to be removed from the body is 2 hours. An exponential function can be used to model the amount of morphine in the body over time: ?=?0???A=A0ekt (note that ?k will be negative). Calculate the value of ?k for morphine. Write a Python function called MorphineModel, which takes two arguments: dose amount ?0A0 and time since last dose ?t, and returns the amount of morphine in the body at this time ?t. Add to your computer code so that you have a program which is an implementation of the following flowchart. Ensure that your code is well-communicated to a user of the program (via the print statements) and well-communicated to someone reading the code (via comments).
Solve in R programming language: Suppose that the number of years that a used car will run before a major breakdown is exponentially distributed with an average of 0.25 major breakdowns per year. (a) If you buy a used car today, what is the probability that it will not have experienced a major breakdown after 4 years. (b) How long must a used car run before a major breakdown if it is in the top 25% of used cars with respect to breakdown time.
PART D The number of false fire alarms in a suburb of Detroit averages 8.4 per day.
