"A blood bank for a local hospital has a supply of plasma for which some have been contaminated with a virus causing hepatitis.

If 7 of the 48 units in the supply are contaminated, what is the probability that a severely injured accident victim given 5 units of plasma will not be exposed to the hepatitis virus

Answer:

The probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus is 0.4547  

Explanation:

We have given that 7 of 48 units of blood is contaminated with virus causing hepatitis.

So probability of getting hepatitis virus is =\frac{7}{48}=0.1458

So probability of not getting hepatitis virus = 1 - 0.1458 = 0.8542

It is given that severely injured accident victim given 5 units of plasma

So probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus = 0.8542^5=0.4547

So the probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus is 0.4547

The diagram shows the thermohaline circulation, also know as the ocean's conveyor belt.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The statement that is true about red currents in the thermohaline circulation is that  water in the red currents contain less salt (option A).

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is a concept used in oceanography, referring to the oceanic circulation that depends on factors such as surface heat and salinity, as well as the density gradient that they determine.

On a map, the different currents that are part of the thermohaline circulation are usually represented with blue and red lines, where:

  • <em>The blue lines represent deep, cold, dense and higher salinity currents.</em>
  • <em>The red lines represent surface currents, warm, with less salt content, so they are less dense.</em>

The red currents (see image) represented on the map have less salt content, compared to the currents represented in blue.
