You have 120 mice lacking insulin receptors in their brain tissue. On average 15.2% of these types of mice will die within a month. What is the probability at least 100 mice live until next month? (use binomial approximation of normal)

Expert Solution

Solution:

Given,

n = 120

On average 15.2% of these types of mice will die within a month.

On average 84.8% of these types of mice will live until the next month.

Let X denotes No. of mice out of 120 that will live until the next month.

p = 84.8% = 0.848

X follows Binomial(120 , 0.848)

According to the Normal approximation to the binomial , X follows Normal distribution with

Mean = = n * p = 120 * 0.848 = 101.76

Standard deviation = =n*p*(1-p) = 120*0.848*0.15.2 = 15.46752 = 3.93287681

Find P(at least 100 mice live until next month)

= P(X 100)

= P(X > 99.5) .... Continuity correction

= P[(X - )/ > (99.5 - )/]

= P[Z > (99.5 - 101.76)/ 3.93287681]

= P[Z > -0.5746]

= 1 - P[Z < -0.5746]

= 1 - 0.2828 ( use z table)

= 0.7172

You are studying the part of the brain that mediates stress. You have treated some mice under stressed conditions and you also have control mice. You isolate the appropriate brain regions from both groups. Describe what you would do to identify changes in genes associated with acetylated lysine 9 on histone H3. What would you do to prepare the brain samples for analysis? Would technique would you use to purify genes associated with aceylated lysine 9 histone H3 and how...

Given that H0: μ=40 against H1: μ < 40 if mice have an average life of 38 months with a standard deviation of 5.8 months. If the distribution of life spans is approximately normal, how large a sample is required in order that the probability of committing a type II error be 0.1 when the true mean is 35.9 months? Assume that level of significance 0.05. 18 28 10 32

Serena's average serve is about 120 mph! Before you begin you will need to convert that to meters per second. It takes the eye about 100 milliseconds to tell the brain it's looking at the ball. By the time the opposing player is ready to react, she only has 400 milliseconds to do so. 1-According to the Sport Science Video on Serena's serve, how long does it take for the eye to pick up the ball once she hits the...

In one experiment, you have 2 mice of different strains, the first has no mutation or wild type (WT) and the second is a conditional knockout (KO) of the insulin receptor specifically in skeletal muscle. After an overnight fast, both are fed a glucose solution. One hour later, in both mice blood glucose levels have peaked suggesting that the glucose has been processed through the portal vein and into general circulation. Two hours later, blood glucose levels in the WT...

4. In your studies with mice, you have sequenced a piece of wild-type DNA and it clearly contains a gene, but you do not know what this gene does. Therefore, to investigate further, you would like to create a transgenic mouse to learn more about the phenotypic qualities this gene confers. What kind of transgenic mouse would allow you to correctly determine any phenotypes that depend on this gene’s function? How would you go about making such a mouse?
