After a large number of drinks, a person has a blood-alcohol level of 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). If the amount of alcohol in the blood decays exponentially, and after 2 hours, 72 mg/dL remain, find an exponential model for the person's blood-alcohol level f(t) where t is the time in hours. HINT [See Example 2.]
f(t) =
72e−0.18t
Use your model to estimate the person's blood-alcohol level after 5 hours. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
29.3 mg/dL

A serum cholesterol level above 250 mg/dl of blood is a risk
factor for cardiovascular disease in humans. At a
medical center in St. Louis, a study to test the effectiveness of
new cholesterol-lowering drug was conducted. One hundred
people with cholesterol levels between 250 mg/dl and 300 mg/dl were
available for this study. Fifty people were assigned at
random to each of two treatment groups. One group
received the standard cholesterol-lowering medication and the other
group received the new drug. After taking the drug...

The blood alcohol content (BAC) of a person will rise after
drinking alcoholic drinks such as beer or wine. Each person’s BAC
responds differently based on many physiological factors. In
Australia, a person must have a BAC lower than 0.05 in order to
legally drive.
Your colleague suggests that you should compare the difference
in BAC directly rather than whether the study subjects can legally
drive or not. Suppose that the BAC of people under the study
conditions who do...

Let x be a random variable that represents the level of
glucose in the blood (milligrams per deciliter of blood) after a
12-hour fast. Assume that for people under 50 years old, x
has a distribution that is approximately normal, with mean
μ = 57 and estimated standard deviation σ = 34. A
test result x < 40 is an indication of severe excess
insulin, and medication is usually prescribed.
