Answer:

985.15mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours

First step is to calculate the weight in kg

255 lbs = 255/2.2 = 115.9 kg

Second step is multiply mg/kg in order to get total medicine per day

Dose per day=115.9kg × 17 mg

Dose per day= 1,970.3

Third step is to calculate how many milligrams of the drug should he receive by dividing the day dose by 2

Dose milligrams=1,970.3/2

Dose milligrams=985.15mg

Therefore how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours will be 985.15mg

In an effort to estimate the mean amount spent per customer for dinner at a major Atlanta restaurant, data were collected for a
Softa [21]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval = (23.4,26.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have to develop a 95% CI for the mean.

The sample size is n=49, the mean of the sample is M=24.8 and the standard deviation of the population is σ=5.

We know that for a 95% CI, the z-value is 1.96.

The CI is

M-z*\sigma/\sqrt{n}\leq\mu\leq M+z*\sigma/\sqrt{n}\\\\24.8-1.96*5/\sqrt{49}\leq\mu\leq 24.8+1.96*5/\sqrt{49}\\\\ 24.8-1.4\leq\mu\leq 24.8+1.4\\\\23.4\leq\mu\leq 26.2
