A bit theory

Here by the problem,

In an experiment, 32% of lab mice cells exposed to chemically produced cat Mups responded positively. Now we consider a sample of n=200 lab mice cells, each exposed to chemically produced cat Mups.

Now let X represent the number of cells that respond positively.

a. Now from the theory given, the probability distribution of X can be approximated by the binomial distribution.

There are n=200 identical trials. For each trial, there are two possible outcomes. The probability of each possible outcome is the same for each trial, and the trials are all independent

b. Now the expected value of X be, where X~Binomial(200,0.32)

Interpretation:

On average 64 cells out of 200 will respond positively in similar experiments.

Hence option B is the correct one.

c. Now, the variance of X is

d. Now the interval 95% likely to contain the value of X using the empirical rule, where by empirical rule X ~Normal(64,43.52) is,

where be the upper 0.025 point of standard normal distribution

So the interval be,

Hence the answer................

Thank you...............

The following experiment is carried out in a physiology lab. Red blood cells are placed in different solutions: distilled water, 0.45% saline, 0.9% saline, 5% urea, and 5% glucose. The molecular mass for each molecule is given: NaCl = 58.44 gm/mole; urea = 60.06 gm/mole; glucose = 180.16 gm/mole. For each of the solutions used, calculate the osmolarity. To do this, you will need to convert solutions given in percents to osmolarity. A 0.45% saline solution has 0.45 gm/100 mL...
