Answer: This is an example of <em>tolerance. </em>
Explanation:
When a person has tolerance that means that they will need more of the substance to get them to same level as before. Many people grow an tolerance to certain prescription drugs, drugs, etc. A doctor can prescribe a new medicine or up dosages to help the patient not use more of the medication than prescribed.
For Tayla, this means she will have to have more of the substance to achieve the level she had before.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes severe problems mainly on the respiratory system, but also on other organs such as the pancreas or the liver. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual needs to inherit one copy of the gene from each parent in order to have the disease. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the protein that participates in the transport salt intracellularly. This mutation causes a defect in the production of mucus, sweat and digestive fluid. In patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, these bodily fluids and the mucus are sticky and thick. This change in consistency causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems.
Answer: (a) 0.927
(b) 14.2%
Explanation:
Given : According to the National Health Survey, the heights of adult males in the United States are normally distributed .
Mean : 
Standard deviation : 
Let X be a random variable that represents the heights of adult males in the United States .
Z-score : 
(a) For x= 64
For x= 74
Using the standard normal distribution table , we have
The deviation 2.8 inches. (a) What is the probability that an adult male chosen at random is between 64 and 74 inches tall :-
Hence, the probability that an adult male chosen at random is between 64 and 74 inches tall = 0.927
b) Since 1 feet = 12 inches
Then , 6 feet = 
The z-score corresponds to x=72 :
Then , the probability that the adult male population is more than 6 feet tall :-
Hence, the percentage of the adult male population is more than 6 feet tall = 14.2%
-Obesity = more volume (fat) that must be supplied blood —> extra pressure on your heart to push blood further —> thickening of heart muscle
-Obesity is mostly caused by eating unhealthy foods whose main detriment to cardiovascular health is that these foods can turn into plaque that build up in the artieries in your heart (atherosclerosis; this usually is the cause of coronary artery disease)
-Another common health condition that can affect your cardiovascular health is a high salt diet. Since salt encourages the retaining of water in your blood, it increases the volume in your blood vessels, stretching them in much wider diameters than they would normally be able to handle
This in turn damages the inside of those blood vessels, and the tissue under the inside of the blood vessels likes to pick up chloesterol, which sticks to cholesterol, which can lead to blockages of plaque inside those arteries, potentially leading to the complete blockage of the artery. If this occurs in the heart, in can cause heart attack, as the heart will not receive enough oxygen from blocked blood flow and the heart cells will begin to die.
