Answer to Question 1

An acceptance interval is an interval within which a sample mean has a higher probability of occurring, given that the population mean and variance is known. If the sample mean is within that interval, then the conclusion can be accepted that the random sample came from the population with the known population mean and variance. Thus acceptance intervals provide an operating rule for process-monitoring applications. The probability that the sample mean is within a particular interval can be computed if the sample means have a distribution that is close to normal. Acceptance intervals can also be computed for nonnormal probability distributions. Acceptance intervals find wide application for monitoring manufacturing processes to determine if product standards continue to be achieved.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
