Dosage Calculations. In Exercises 21–26, use the data in the accompanying table, which lists the numbers of correct and wrong dosage amounts calculated by physicians. In a research experiment, one group of physicians was given bottles of epinephrine labeled with a concentration of “1 milligram in 1 milliliter solution,” and another group of physicians was given bottles labeled with a ratio of “1 milliliter of a 1:1000 rotation.” The two labels describe the exact same amount, and the physicians were instructed to administer 0.12 milligrams of epinephrine. The results were reported in The New York Times.
Correct Dosage Calculation | Wrong Dosage Calculation | |
Concentration Label (“1 milligram in 1 milliliter solution”) |
11 | 3 |
Ratio Label (“1 milliliter of a 1:1000 solution”) |
2 | 12 |
24. Wrong Dosage or Ratio If one of the physicians is randomly selected, find the probability of getting one who made a wrong dosage calculation or was given the bottle with a ratio label.

- QUESTION (3D.PNG) BASIS OF THE DATA (DATA1.PNG)arrow_forward1. A researcher observed a rat respond for a food reward by pressing one of the three levers in a cage. Pressing the lever to the right (R) produced no food reward. pressing the lever to the left (L) produced a single food pellet, and pressing the lever at the center (C) produced two food pellets. Because the center level produced the largest reward, the researcher hypothesized that the rat would press this lever most often. Each trial ended when the rat produced a level. The researcher recorded lever pressing for 30 trials.

- One morning a local affiliate of national public radio show had an episode about parks in Idaho. During the show they asked listeners to respond to a poll and answer whether they had been camping in an Idaho park in the last year. 1287 responded, and 1003 said they had camped in an Idaho park in the last year. They hoped this would give some indication of whatproportion of all Idahoans go camping annually.
