Question 1

A data set has size 70. Approximately how many observations lie within 2 standard deviations to either side of the mean?
◦ 48
◦ 67
◦ 4
◦ 70

Question 2

The weights, in kilograms, of 60 randomly selected female school children from Country A, ages 12-15 years old, are presented in increasing order in the following table:

35.3   37.6   38.1   38.8   38.9   39.0   39.1   40.2   41.2  
41.2   41.3   41.7   42.1   42.1   42.1   42.3   42.6   42.7
42.8   43.2   43.3   43.3   44.1   44.3   44.5   44.8   45.1
45.1   45.2   45.4   45.4   45.6   45.8   45.8   46.0   46.2
46.3   46.6   46.6   47.1   47.3   47.5   47.6   47.7   48.1
48.1   48.3   48.3   48.4   48.6   48.6   48.8   49.0   49.6
50.3   51.0   51.9   52.9   52.9   57.4  

Note: The sample mean and sample standard deviation of these weights are, respectively, 45.19 and 4.19.

(i) Use the Empirical rule to estimate the percentages of the observations that lie within 1standard deviation(s) to either side of the mean.
(ii) Use the data to obtain the exact percentages of the observations that lie within 1standard deviation(s) to either side of the mean.
◦ (i) Assuming that the weights have a roughly bell-shaped distribution, approximately 63%  of the observations should lie within 4.19 kg of the mean 45.19, or within the interval from 41 to 49.38;
(ii) 40 of the 60 observations 66.67% lie between 41 and 49.38.
◦ (i) Assuming that the weights have a roughly bell-shaped distribution, approximately 63%  of the observations should lie within 4.19 kg of the mean 45.19, or within the interval from 40.5 to 49.68;
(ii) 45 of the 60 observations (75%) lie between 40.5 to 49.68.
◦ (i) Assuming that the weights have a roughly bell-shaped distribution, approximately 68%  of the observations should lie within 4.19 kg of the mean 45.19, or within the interval from 39.7 to 50.48;
(ii) 43 of the 60 observations 71.67% lie between 39.7 to 50.48.
◦ (i) Assuming that the weights have a roughly bell-shaped distribution, approximately 68%  of the observations should lie within 4.19 kg of the mean 45.19 or within the interval from 41 to 49.38;
(ii) 45 of the 60 observations (75%) lie between 41 and 49.38.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Oxytocin is recommended only for pregnancies that have a medical reason for inducing labor (such as eclampsia) and is not recommended for elective procedures or for making the birthing process more convenient.
