Concept explainers
Cholesterol is produced by the body for the construction of cell walls, and is also absorbed from certain foods. The blood cholesterol level is measured in units of milligrams per decilitre, or mg/dl. The net cholesterol production or destruction by the body is modelled by a rate r per day times the difference between the body’s “natural” cholesterol level(a constant) and the actual cholesterol level at any time t. The rate of absorption from food is estimated as a constant k in milligrams per decilitre per day.
A person’s cholesterol level at the start of the testing period is 150 mg/dl. Find an expression for the cholesterol level at any subsequent time t. If the rate is 0.10 per day and the natural level is 100 mg/dl, find the cholesterol level of the person 10 days after the start of the testing period in terms of k.
If k=25, what is the cholesterol level of this person after a long time?
Suppose this person starts a low-cholesterol diet. What must the value of k be so that the long-time cholesterol level is 180 mg/dl.

- An electronics company manufactures batches of n circuit boards. Before a batch is approved for shipment, m boards are randomly selected from the batch and tested. The batch is rejected if more than d boards in the sample are found to be faulty. a) A batch actually contains six faulty circuit boards. Find the probability that the batch is rejected when n = 20, m = 5, and d = 1. b) A batch actually contains nine faulty circuit boards. Find the probability that the batch is rejected when n = 30, m = 10, and d = 1.arrow_forward10. [-/3 Points] DETAILS MY NOTES SESSCALCET2 7.2.047.

They wish to fairly divide the cake using the lone chooser method. Pam likes strawberry twice as much as chocolate or vanilla. Rob only likes chocolate. Sam, the chooser, likes vanilla and strawberry twice as much as chocolate. In the first division, Pam cuts the strawberry piece off and lets Rob choose his favorite piece. Based on that, Rob chooses the chocolate and vanilla parts.
