Intravenous infusion fluids produced by three different pharmaceutical companies (Cutter, Abbott, and McGaw) were tested for their concentrations of particulate contaminants. Six samples were inspected from each company. The figures listed in the table are, for each sample, the number of particles per liter greater than five microns in diameter (194).

In an agricultural experiment, the effects of two fertilizers on the production of limes were measured. Nineteen randomly selected plots of land were treated with a brand new fertilizer, and 27 randomly selected plots were treated with an old fertlizer. The number of pounds of harvested limes were measured from each plot. The results are given below. (Round answers to two decimal places.)

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardUrban Travel Times Population of cities and driving times are related, as shown in the accompanying table, which shows the 1960 population N, in thousands, for several cities, together with the average time T, in minutes, sent by residents driving to work.

(2003). A fertilizer companyis trying to determine the cheapest fertilizer mix thatprovides desired amounts of nutrients. The mix ismade by combining the following fertilizers: SSA,SPO, GUR, TSP, KCI, FERT, and SPF. The mix cannot contain both GUR and TSP. The percentage ofpotassium (K), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na)and phosphorus (P) in each fertilizer is listed in the fileP06_88.xlsx. For example, a pound of SSA is 16% Kand 26% Na. The mix must contain at least 600 poundsof K, 550 pounds of S, 750 pounds of Ca, 900 poundsof Na, and 750 pounds of P. The mix cannot containboth GUR and TSP, because if both are present in themix, the affect of other fertilizers is nullified. The costper pound (in cents) of each fertilizer is listed in thesame file. Develop a linear integer model to find theminimum-cost fertilizer mixture that meets the statedchemical requirements.arrow_forwardn an effort to determine whether a new type of fertilizer is more effective than the type currently in use, researchers took 5 two-acre plots of land scattered throughout the village.

- In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed; of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. The article “Health Effects of Exposure to Water-Damaged New Orleans Homes Six Months After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita” (K. Cummings, J. Cox-Ganser, et al., American Journal of Public Health, 2008:869–875) reports that in a sample of 365 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 77 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 179 residents who had not participated in cleaning, 23 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph).
