The diffusion time of the red blood cell to take oxygen through the membrane is 25uS.

The small capillaries in the lungs are in close contact and it takes a red blood cell 0.5 seconds to squeeze through the capillary.

The diffusion time for the oxygen across the 1 um thick membrane separating the air is given by,

t = x²/2D

Where,

t is the diffusion time,

x is the thickness of the membrane,

D is the diffusion coefficient.

Putting values,

t = (1 x 10⁻⁹)²/2 x 2 x 10⁻¹¹

t = 10⁻⁷/4

t = 25 x 10⁻⁹ seconds.

t = 25 uS.

so, the diffusion time is 25uS.

Suppose there is a 13.9 % probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger. In​ addition, there is
Blababa [14]

Answer:

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

It would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities.

A 13.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger, so P(A) = 0.13.

In​ addition, there is a 15.6% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male comma given that he or she jogs. I am going to say that P(B) is the probability that is a male. P(B/A) is the probability that the person is a male, given that he/she jogs. So P(B/A) = 0.156

The Bayes theorem states that:

P(B/A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which P(A \cap B) is the probability that the person does both thigs, so, in this problem, the probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

So

P(A \cap B) = P(A).P(B/A) = 0.156*0.139 = 0.217

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

A probability is unusual when it is smaller than 5%.

So it would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

Which of the following best describes the relationship between (x + 2) and
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

B. (x+2) is a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 -x-14

3x^2+6x-7x-14

3x(x+2)-7(x+2)

(3x-7)(x+2)

so, x+2 is a factor of 3x^2-x-14
