For a binomial distribution with n = 50, and p = 0.4, does the normal distribution provide a reasonable approximation? Use the rule of thumb for normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

Since np = 20 > 5 and nq = 30 > 5, the normal approximation to the binomial distribution is appropriate in this case.

Answer to Question 2

Since np = 60 > 5 and nq = 540 > 5, the normal approximation to the binomial distribution is appropriate in this case.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Did you know?

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera). It may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, or foreign body in the eye. Antibiotic eye drops alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis, and antihistamine allergy pills or eye drops help control allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.
