If the recommended adult dosage for a drug is D (in mg), then to determine the appropriate dosage c for a child of age a, pharma

cists use the equation c = 0.0417D(a + 1). Suppose the dosage for an adult is 200 mg.
(a) Find the slope of the graph of c. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(b) What is the dosage for a newborn? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

a) The slope of the graph of c is 8.34.

b) The dosage for a newborn is 8.34mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

A first order function in the following format

c(a) = ba + d

Has slope b.

The appropriate dosage c is a function of the age a.

In this problem, we have that:

c(a) = 0.0417D(a + 1)

Suppose the dosage for an adult is 200 mg. This means that D = 200

So

c(a) = 0.0417*200(a + 1)

c(a) = 8.34a + 8.34

(a) Find the slope of the graph of c.

The slope of the graph of c is 8.34.

(b) What is the dosage for a newborn? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

A newborn has age a = 0. So this is c(0).

c(a) = 8.34a + 8.34

c(0) = 8.34*0 + 8.34 = 8.34

The dosage for a newborn is 8.34mg.

Which steps are needed to solve this equation? . b + 6 = 21 Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation. The answer is b = 15. Ch
pogonyaev

Answer:

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation. The answer is b = 15. Check the solution by substituting 15 for b

Step-by-step explanation:

b+6 =21

Subtract 6 from both sides

b+6-6 = 21-6

b = 15

Check

15+6 = 21

21=21

Pediatric asthma survey, n = 50. suppose that asthma affects 1 in 20 children in a population. you take an srs of 50 children fr
zaharov [31]
In this situation, 
n=50, p=1/20, q=(1-p)=19/20, and npq=19/8=2.4

We would like np and npq to be a large number, at least greater than 10.
The normal approximation can always be applied, but the result will be very approximate, depending on the values of np and npq.

Situations are favourable for the normal approximation when p is around 0.5, say between 0.3 and 0.7, and n>30.

"Normal approximation" is using normal probability distribution to approximate the binomial distribution, when n is large (greater than 70) or exceeds the capacity of most hand-held calculators.  The binomial distribution can be used if the following conditions are met:
1. Bernoulli trials, i.e. exactly two possible outcomes.2. Number of trials is known before and constant throughout the experiment, i.e. independent of outcomes.3. All trials are independent of each other.4. Probability of success is known, and remain constant throughout trials.
If all criteria are satisfied, we can model with binomial distribution, where the probability of x successes out of N trials each with probability of success p is given byP(x)=C(N,x)(p^x)(1-p)^(N-x)and,C(N,x) is number of combinations of selecting x objects out of N.
The mean is np, and variance is npq.

For the given situation, np=2.5, npq=2.375, so standard deviation=sqrt(2.375)=1.54.
