Harman [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The patient will receive 2 whole tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the drug to be administered can be expressed as;

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=Dose per weight of patient×weight of patient

where;

Dose per weight of patient=7.5 mg per kg

weight of patient=110 lb

1 kilogram=2.205 lb

weight of patient in kilograms=110/2.205=49.89 kilograms

replacing;

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=Dose per weight of patient×weight of patient

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=(7.5×49.89)=374.175 mg

Total weight of tablets=374.175 mg

Total weight of tablets=weight per tablet×number of tablets

where;

Total weight of tablets=374.175 mg

Weight per tablet=0.125 g

1 gram=1000 mg

Weight per tablet in mg=(1,000×0.125)=125 mg

Number of tablets=n

replacing;

Total weight of tablets=weight per tablet×number of tablets

374.175=125×n

n=374.175/125

n=2.9934

The patient will receive 2 whole tablets.

Which graph represents the function on the interval [-3,3] <br> F(x)=[x]-2
julia-pushkina [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Shown below

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The most famous of the step functions is the greatest integer function, which is denoted by the parent function [x].

So, this function is defined as:

f(x)=[x] \ the \ greatest \ integer \ less \ than \ or \ equal \ to \ x.

These are the characteristics of this function:

  • The domain of the function is the set of all real numbers.
  • The range of the function is the set of all integers.
  • The graph has a y-intercept at (0,0) and x-intercept in the interval [0,1)
  • The graph is constant between each pair of consecutive integers.
  • The graph jumps vertically one unit at each integer value.

The function F(x)=[x]-2 represents the parent function shifted 2 units downward. Therefore, the correct option has been chosen in the attached figure.

A local company is concerned about the number of days missed by its employees due to ill ness. A Random Sample of 10 employees i
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The incentive program does not cuts down on the number of days missed by employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent t-test (also known as the paired t-test or paired samples t-test) compares the two means associated groups to conclude if there is a statistically significant difference amid these two means.

A paired <em>t</em>-test would be used to determine whether the incentive program cuts down on the number of days missed by employees.

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as follows:

<em>H₀</em>: The incentive program does not cuts down on the number of days missed by employees, i.e. <em>d</em> ≥ 0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The incentive program cuts down on the number of days missed by employees, i.e. <em>d</em> < 0.

From the information provided the data computed is as follows:

 n=10\\\bar d=-1.1\\SD_{d}=2.99

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 t=\frac{\bar d}{SD_{d}/\sqrt{n}}

   =\frac{-1.1}{2.99/\sqrt{10}}\\\\=-1.16

The test statistic value is -1.16.

Decision rule:

If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

Compute the p-value of the test as follows:

p-value=P(t_{n-1}

*Use a t-table.

The p-value of the test is 0.1379.

The p-value of the test is very large for all the commonly used significance level. The null hypothesis will not be rejected.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Conclusion:

The incentive program does not cuts down on the number of days missed by employees
