Textbook Question

Chapter 4.4, Problem 27E

The time it takes an employee to package the com-ponents of a certain product is normally distributed with μ = 8.5 minutes and σ = 1.5 minutes. To boost productivity, management has decided to give special training to the 34 % of employees who took the greatest amount of time to package the components. Find the amount of time taken to package the com-ponents that will indicate that an employee should get special training.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

A team of UMD students have invented an inhalable drug that they think will help people breathe better during hard exercise. They test the drug on 3 volunteers (A, B, and C) by measuring their levels of arterial oxygen before receiving the drug (their base level) and then after 5 and 10 minutes have elapsed, respectively. The results are listed in the table. Oxygen level [mmHg] A B C base level 847076 after 5 minutes 85 74 81 after 10 minutes 90 75 98 We want to see how the drug work (better or worse) when compared to the base level. Compute the 90% two-sided confidence intervals for the mean difference between the base level and after 5 minutes.

Three male patients, pink, green and blue, came into a medical clinic with symptoms of lethargy (feeling tired) and chest congestion. A blood sample was taken for each patient to measure the hematocrit levels and to determine the hemoglobin saturation curves for each patient. The results are shown below with the saturation curve on the left and the hematocrit on the right. What should the oximeter readings be for Patients Pink, Green and Blue if arterial PO₂ was 80 mm Hg [Select) ? Which patient(s) has a significant reduction in total oxygen carrying capacity [Select] #? NO, Saturation of hemoglobin 100 80 60 40 20 Pink, 40 40 PO, (mm) 30 Bue 100 Pink Green Blue
