5. While still in the hospital, the doctor writes an order for an antibiotic at 300mg/kg daily. You are nervous now because the

nurse was wrong before. If you weigh 123 lb, determine how many milligrams you should be given.

The correct answer is 16737 mg

Explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is to convert the weight to kilograms because the dosage of the antibiotic is given in milligrams per kilo. This can be done by multiplying the pounds by 0.453 considering each pound is equal to 0.453 kilos. The process is shown below:

123 lb x 0.453 = 55.791 kg

Now, simply multiply the kilos by the recommended dose:

55.791 kg x 300 mg/kg = 16737 mg

Also, this can be converted to grams by dividing the number into 1000 (1000 mg = 1 g)

16737mg ÷ 1000 =  16.737 grames

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The required hypothesis to test is H_0: \mu\leq 30 and H_1: \mu>30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club.

She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is over 30.

Null hypotheses is represents as H_0. Thus the null hypotheses is shown as:

H_0: \mu\leq 30

The alternative hypotheses is represents as H_1. Thus the alternative hypotheses is shown as:

H_1: \mu>30

Hence, the required hypothesis to test is H_0: \mu\leq 30 and H_1: \mu>30.

Six identical squares are cut from the corners and edges of an 80 cm by 50 cm cardboard rectangle. the remaining piece is folded
Anna11 [10]
Check the picture.

let the length of a side of each of the squares removed be x.

The box formed will have dimensions: 80-2x, 50-2x, x(the height)

So the volume can be expressed as a function of x as follows:

f(x)=(80-2x)(50-2x)x=[4000-160x-100x+4 x^{2} ]x=(4 x^{2}-260x+4000)x

so f(x)=4 x^{3}-260x^{2}+4000x

the solutions of f'(x)=0 gives the inflection points, so the candidates for maxima points,

f'(x)=12x^{2}-520 x +4000=0

solving the quadratic equation, either by a calculator, graphing software, or by other algebraic methods as the discriminant formula, we find the solutions

x=10 and x=33.333

plug in f(x) these values to see which greater:

f(10)=(80-20)(50-20)10=60*30*10=18000 cm cubed

f(33.333)=(80-66.666)(50-66.666)33.333= which is negative because (50-66.666)<0



Answer: 18000 cm cubed

marta [7]

Answer:

$3.34 for each pound of popcorn

All we must do, in this case, is divide 8.35 by 2.5.

This equals 3.34.

Therefore, each pound of popcorn cost $3.34.

Don't believe me? To check, just multiply 3.34 by 2.5.

Please let me know if you need help with anything else. :)
