In a certain article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically ill patients. To measure pain threshold, a machine was used that delivered low-voltage direct current to different parts of the body (wrist, neck, and back). The machine measured current in milliamperes (mA). The pretreatment experimental group in the study had an average threshold of pain (pain was first detectable) at μ = 3.28 mA with standard deviation σ = 1.26 mA. Assume that the distribution of threshold pain, measured in milliamperes, is symmetric and more or less mound-shaped. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 68% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain from mA to mA (b) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 95% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain from mA to mA

What is probiotic therapy? What is prebiotic therapy? What does alternative medicine mean?
What is probiotic therapy? What is prebiotic therapy? What does alternative medicine mean? What are the pros of each kind of therapy? Why do they work? What are the cons of each kind of therapy? Why don't they work? Discuss at least one current therapy in use or being investigated for each type (probiotic, prebiotic, alternative medicine). Provide your thoughts about the use of these types of therapies (picking a specific bacterium) versus treatment with antibiotics, etc.

Two different pain reliever drugs, “Drug A” and “Drug B,” are developed to relieve arthritis pain. A clinical study recruits 15 individuals with arthritis. The individuals are given each drug on different days and the number of hours of pain relief for each drug is recorded. This data is in the “arthritis.csv” data file. a) State the appropriate hypotheses to test if there is a difference in the hours of pain relief for Drug A versus Drug B, using “Drug...

New drugs are expensive in the U.S. For example, there are new pain relievers to treat severe arthritis, but they cost $150 a month, nearly 20 times more than previous pain relievers. A new biotech drug, Enbrel, to treat rheumatoid arthritis can cost $1,500 a month. Which factors have contributed most to the sharp increase in drug expenditures? Discuss all possible factors. Are rising drug expenditures necessarily bad? And how to control drug costs?
