Pregnant women metabolize some drugs at a slower rate than the rest of the population. The half-life of caffeine is about 4 hour

s for most people. In pregnant women, it is 10 hours1. (This is important because caffeine, like all psychoactive drugs, crosses the placenta to the fetus.) If a pregnant woman and her husband each have a cup of coffee containing 110 mg of caffeine at 8 am, how much caffeine does each have left in the body at 7 pm?

Answer:

Husband:

The husband will have 16.35 mg of caffeine in his body at 7 pm.

Woman:

The pregnant woman will have 51.33 mg of caffeine in her body at 7 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of caffeine in the body can be modeled by the following equation:

C(t) = C(0)e^{rt}

In which C(t) is the amount of caffeine t hours after 8 am, C(0) is how much coffee they took and r is the rate the the amount of caffeine decreases in their bodies.

110 mg of caffeine at 8 am,

So C(0) = 110

Husband

Half life of 4 hours. So

C(4) = 0.5C(0) = 0.5*110 = 55

C(t) = C(0)e^{rt}

55 = 110e^{4r}

e^{4r} = 0.5

Applying ln to both sides

\ln{e^{4r}} = \ln{0.5}

4r = \ln{0.5}

r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{4}

r = -0.1733

So for the husband

C(t) = 110e^{-0.1733t}

At 7 pm

7 pm is 11 hours after 8 am, so this is C(11)

C(t) = 110e^{-0.1733t}

C(11) = 110e^{-0.1733*11} = 16.35

The husband will have 16.35 mg of caffeine in his body at 7 pm.

Pregnant woman

Half life of 10 hours. So

C(10) = 0.5C(0) = 0.5*110 = 55

C(t) = C(0)e^{rt}

55 = 110e^{10}

e^{10r} = 0.5

Applying ln to both sides

\ln{e^{10r}} = \ln{0.5}

10r = \ln{0.5}

r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{10}

r = -0.0693

At 7 pm

7 pm is 11 hours after 8 am, so this is C(11)

C(t) = 110e^{-0.0693t}

C(11) = 110e^{-0.0693*11} = 51.33

The pregnant woman will have 51.33 mg of caffeine in her body at 7 pm.

An envelope contains three cards: a black card that is black on both sides, a white card that is white on both sides, and a mixe
Over [174]

Answer:

There is a  2/3  probability that the other side is also black.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here let B1: Event of picking a card that has a black side

B2: Event of picking a card that has BOTH black side.

Now, by the CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY:

P(B_2/B_1 )  = \frac{P(B_1\cap B_2)}{P(B_1)}

Now, as EXACTLY ONE CARD has both sides BLACK in three cards.

⇒ P (B1 ∩ B2) = 1 /3

Also, Out if total 6 sides of cards, 3 are BLACK from one side.

⇒ P (B1 ) = 3 /6 = 1/2

Putting these values in the formula, we get:

P(B_2/B_1 )  = \frac{P(B_1\cap B_2)}{P(B_1)} = \frac{1}{3}  \times\frac{2}{1} = \frac{2}{3}

⇒ P (B2 / B1)  =  2/3

Hence, there is a  2/3  probability that the other side is also black.

After working for 25 hours, Larry made $375. After working for 40 hours, Kyle made $560. Who is paid the better rate? Explain ho
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Larry.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Larry, do 375/25 = 15. He is getting paid $15 an hour.

For Kyle, you do 560/40 = 14. He is getting paid $14 an hour.

$15 is greater than $14 an hour, so Larry is getting paid at a better rate.
