Robert was diagnosed with hypertension at the age of 39. In taking better care of himself., Robert a former college athlete found himself eating poorly, consuming too much alcohol, smoking, and spending too much time sitting in front of the TV since graduating. His personal habits have also caused him to gain a significant amount of weight. Robert is now on two high blood pressure medications to try and control his blood pressure. He also modified his lifestyle to include regular exercise, stopping smoking and moderate alcohol consumption and a sodium diet.
Robert’s, father had died earl from renal failure due to hypertension he took his lifestyle changes seriously. Robert now 56, is a triathlon athlete and very competitive and strived to first in his age group. In order to gain the edge, he needs, he hired a certified clinical trainer, Carmen. Robert was experiencing dehydration and fatigue while exercising, so he wanted help to find a way to drink enough fluids while training.
Carmen designed a way for Robert to assess his physiological status (PS)before, during, and after his workouts. A urinalysis was done before, right after, and six hours after a two-hour training run to determine his renal status a measure of his PS.
The table below shows Robert’s urinalysis data.

Questions
1. Trace glucose that was found in Robert’s urine six hours after his exercise, this concerned Carmen, however, Robert had a large meal an hour before the urinalysis. How could this affect the glucose in Robert’s urine?
2. Intense exercise can cause lactic acid to accumulate. How can Carmen tell Robert’s kidneys are trying to prevent acidosis? Describe this mechanism.
3. After reviewing Robert’s urinalysis data, do you think he should drink more water prior to starting his training to make sure he stays adequately hydrated? Explain your answer.
4. One of the medications the Robert takes to control his blood pressure is called an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor), which inhibits the activation of angiotensin II. What are two of the mechanisms by which angiotensin II targets the kidneys to increase extracellular fluid volume, there are several?

Question 6 (1 point)
A statistics professor wants to examine the number of hours that seniors and freshmen study for the final. Specifically, the professor wants to test if the average number of hours that seniors study is greater than the average number of hours that freshmen study. If the seniors are considered group 1 and the freshmen are considered group 2, what are the hypotheses for this scenario?

Question 7 (1 point)
A pharmaceutical company is testing a new drug to increase memorization ability. It takes a sample of individuals and splits them randomly into two groups: group 1 takes the drug, group 2 takes a placebo. After the drug regimen is completed, all members of the study are given a test for memorization ability with higher scores representing a better ability to memorize. Those 21 participants on the drug had an average test score of 21.85 (SD = 4.22) while those 28 participants not on the drug (taking the placebo) had an average score of 20.94 (SD = 6.504). You use this information to perform a test for two independent samples with hypotheses Null Hypothesis: μ1 = μ2, Alternative Hypothesis: μ1 ≠ μ2. What is the test statistic and p-value? Assume the population standard deviations are equal.

A medical researcher wants to examine the relationship of the blood pressure of patients before and after a procedure. She takes a sample of people and measures their blood pressure before undergoing the procedure. Afterwards, she takes the same sample of people and measures their blood pressure again. If the researcher wants to test if the blood pressure measurements after the procedure are less than the blood pressure measurements before the procedure, what will the null and alternative hypotheses be? Treat the differences as (blood pressure after - blood pressure before).

Toni's Typesetters is analyzing a possible merger with Pete's Print Shop. Toni's has a tax loss carryforward of $ 400,000, which it could apply to Pete's expected earnings before taxes of $200,000 per year for the next 5 years. Using a 38 % tax rate, compare the earnings after taxes for Pete's over the next 5 years both without and with the merger.
Without the merger, Pete's Print Shop's earnings after taxes in years 1 through 5 is $_________ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

A buffer solution contains both a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A-) so buffers do not have large changes in pH after addition of a small amount of strong acid or strong base.
What is the pH of 500.0 mL of a buffer composed of acetic acid (0.300 moles) and sodium acetate (0.200 moles) before and after addition of solid sodium hydroxide (5.84 g)? Assume no change in volume with addition of NaOH. pKa = 4.756 for acetic acid.
