Patients take a drug for severe acne for 6 months and there are 150,000 new patients each month. How many patients are taking this drug on average at any given time?
Homework Answers
P = 150,000 new patients / month
T = Duration of taking drugs = 6 months
Number of patients taking drug at any point of time = P X T
= 150000 X 6
= 900,000
Therefore, 900,000 patients are taking drugs at any point of time

A Rhode Island company produces communion wafers for churches around the country and the world. The little company produces a lot of wafers, several hundred million per year. When in production, the process produces wafers at the rate of 103 per second. During this production process, the wafers must spend 7 minutes passing through a cooling tube. How many wafers does the cooling tube hold, on average, when in production (in other words, don't count the time they are not...

2. A drug for treating acne possibly has a side effect of decreasing patients’ sense of self-worth. To test the impact of the acne drug, researchers gather 36 acne patients who are currently taking the acne medicine and give them a survey that measures their feelings of self-worth and self-concept. This sample has a mean self-worth and self-concept of 27. If the mean self-worth and self-concept for population of all people with acne is 32 with a standard deviation of...

(1 point) A new drug to lower total cholesterol is being tested. A study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of the drug. Sixteen patients agree to participate in the study and each is asked to take the new drug for 4 weeks. Before starting the treatment, each patient's total cholesterol level is measured. After taking the drug for 4 weeks, each patient's total cholesterol level is measured again. The 99% confidence interval for the change in total cholesterol (After...

1. In some patients, an allergic reaction may take the severe form of anaphylaxis. In such cases, epinephrine, a typically fast-acting bronchodilator, is sometimes administered by continuous IV infusion. If an adult dose is delivered at a rate of 4 micrograms per minute, and the concentration of the epinephrine solution is 1 mg/250 ml, then how many milliliters must be available for a one hour infusion? 2 Albuterol, a bronchodilator of the beta-2 adrenergic drug type, can be administered by...

A random sample of patients participated in a study to determine if a drug was effective in decreasing triglyceride levels in mg/d, For each patient, the initial triglyceride level and the level after taking the drug for two months were recorded. Does it appear the drug is effective? Assume a 10% level of significance. (If the drug is deemed effective, more testing on a larger sample will be performed. This is a preliminary (small scale) investigation.) Patient Initial level 2-month...

To test the effectiveness of a new drug designed to relieve pain, 200 patients were randomly selected and divided into two equal groups. One group of 100 patients was given a pill containing the drug, while the other group of 100 was given a placebo. What can we conclude about the effectiveness of the drug if 62 of those actually taking the drug felt a beneficial effect, while 41 of the patients taking the placebo felt a beneficial effect? A)...

An over-the-counter drug manufacturer wants to examine the effectiveness of a new drug in curing an illness most commonly found in older patients. Thirteen patients are given the new drug and 13 patients are given the old drug. To avoid bias in the experiment, they are not told which drug is given to them. To check how the effectiveness depends on the age of patients, the following data have been collected. To examine the differences between salaries of male and...
