By using the known half-life, we can see that if the initial dose is 500mg, after 4 days the medication will be 0.0076 mg.

<h3>What is the half-life?</h3>

We define half-life as the time such that the initial amount is reduced to its half.

So, if a given substance has a half-life T, then the amount of substance as a function of time, we have:

S(t) = A*e^{-t*ln(2)/T}

Where t is the variable in time units.

We know that T = 6 hours, and A, the initial dose, is 500 mg, so the formula is:

S(t) = 500mg*e^{-t*ln(2)/6h}

Then after 4 days (or 4*24h = 96h) the amount of medication is:

S(96h) =  500mg*e^{-96h*ln(2)/6h} = 0.0076 mg.

If the initial dose was 750mg, after 4 days the person would have:

S(96h) = 750mg*e^{-96h*ln(2)/6h} = 0.0114 mg

So the person would have:

0.0114 mg -  0.0076 mg = 0.038 mg more of medication.

Suppose that Upper X has a discrete uniform distribution f left-parenthesis x right-parenthesis equals StartLayout left-brace1st
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

the probability that the sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.4 is 0.2444

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

x        f(x)         xp(x)               x²p(x)

1         1/3        0.33333        0.33333

2        1/3        0.66667        1.33333

3        1/3        1.00000        3.0000

∑                    2.0000          4.6667

∑(xp(x)) = 2

∑(x²p(x)) = 4.6667

Variance σ² = ∑(x²) - ∑(x)² = 4.6667 - (2)² = 4.6667 - 4 = 0.6667

standard deviation σ = √variance = √0.6667 = 0.8165

Now since, n = 33 which is greater than 30, we can use normal approximation

for normal distribution z score ( x-μ)/σ

mean μ = 2

standard deviation = 0.817

sample size n = 33

standard of error σₓ = σ/√n = 0.817/√33 = 0.1422

so probability will be;

p( 2.1  < X < 2.4 ) = p(( 2.1-2)/0.1422) <  x"-μ/σₓ  <  p(( 2.4-2)/0.1422)

= 0.70 < Z < 2.81    

=  1 - ( 0.703 < Z < 2.812 )

FROM Z-SC0RE TABLE

=  1 - ( 0.25804 + 0.49752 )

= 1 - 0.75556

p( 2.1  < X < 2.4 ) = 0.2444

Therefore,  the probability that the sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.4 is 0.2444

Write the equation of the line that includes the point (1,5) and has a slope of 3 in standard form.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

-3x + y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 3. So the coefficient of x is 3.

when x = 1, y = 5.

So 3*1 + c = 5

So c is 2.

So y = 3x + 2

Therefore, taking 3x to the LHS, we get,

-3x + y = 2

Hope it helps ;)
