Chapter 12.1, Problem 10AE
Allied Health An assistant at a pharmaceutical company summarized the use of anti-obesity drugs in Zizyx County. Based on a survey of local pharmacies, the assistant estimated the percent of patients using each of the most common weight-loss medications and presented the results in a circle graph.
- (a) What is the most commonly used weight-loss medication in Zizyx County?
- (b) If a total of 2780 people in Zizyx County take weight-loss medication, how many of these are taking Sibutramine? How many more people take Orlistat than Metformin?
- (c) After a fitness center was opened in Zizyx County, the number of people taking weight-loss medications (see part (b)] decreased by 43%. How many people in Zizyx County were taking weight-loss medications after the opening of the fitness center?
- (d) If the percents in the circle graph remained the same after the opening of the fitness center, how many patients were still taking Byetta?

The college hiking club is having a fundraiser to buy new equipment for fall and winter outings. The club is selling Chinese fortune cookies at a price of $2 per cookie. Each cookie contains a piece of paper with a different number written on it. A random drawing will determine which number is the winner of a dinner for two at a local Chinese restaurant. The dinner is valued at $32. Since fortune cookies are donated to the club, we can ignore the cost of the cookies. The club sold 718 cookies before the drawing. Lisa bought 13 cookies. Lisa's expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. What are Lisa's expected earnings? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
The Honolulu Advertiser stated that in Honolulu there was an average of 659 burglaries per 400,000 households in a given year. In the Kohola Drive neighborhood there are 321 homes. Let r be the number of homes that will be burglarized in a year. Use the formula for Poisson distribution. What is the value of p, the probability of success, to four decimal places?

- What was the age distribution of nurses in Great Britain at the time of Florence Nightingale? Thanks to Florence Nightingale and the British census of 1851, we have the following information (based on data from the classic text Notes on Nursing, by Florence Nightingale). Note: In 1851 there were 25,466 nurses in Great Britain. Furthermore, Nightingale made a strict distinction between nurses and domestic servants. Use a histogram and graph the probability distribution. Using the graph of the probability distribution determine the probability that a British nurse selected at random in 1851 would be 40 years of age or older. Round your answer to nearest thousandth.
