- If you flip a coin, there is a 1/2 chance you will receive a heads. If you flip a coin twice, you have to use the product rule to multiply each independent flip to find out what the odds of getting two heads in a row. (1/2 x 1/2=1/4.) By this rule, the odds of flipping a coin 13 times in a row twice and getting the exact same thing both times are 213.

- Several cell culture lines of epithelial cells, called “Cell Line A, B, or C,” are incubated with 104 infectious particles of influenza virus, and viral titers in the culture media are measured 2 days later. Looking at the results of this experiment, it is apparent that the three lines do not all show the same response to the virus. To investigate these differences, mixing experiments are performed, where cells from two different cell lines are mixed together at a 1:1 ratio before the Influenza infection. Based on the results shown in the figure below, propose an explanation for these data.arrow_forward10.52 A food-frequency questionnaire is used to measure dietary intake. The respondent specifies the number of servings of various food items he or she consumed over the previous week. The dietary cholesterol is then quantified for each respondent. The researchers were inter- ested in assessing if there was an association between dietary cholesterol intake and high blood pressure. In a large sample of individuals who had completed the questionnaire, 250 persons with a high dietary cholesterol intake (greater than 300 mg/day) were selected, and 250 persons with a low dietary cholesterol intake (less than 300 mg/day) were selected. The 500 selected participants had their medical histories taken and were classified as having normal or high blood pressure. The data are given here.
