<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

The first line shown in choice A is $a_1 = -2$ which means "the first term is -2"

The next line in choice A means "the nth term ( $a_n$ ) is found by multiplying the prior term ( $a_{n-1}$ ) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.

first term = -2

second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16

third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128

fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024

and so on.

?Order: Add 125 mg of morphine sulfate to DW 250 mL stat. and infuse at 0.005? mg/kg/min.

Elis [28]

Answer:

A. 57 mL/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of morphine sulfate = 125 mg

DW = 250 mL

Rate of infusion = 0.005 mg/kg/min

Converting to mg/kg/hour

0.005 mg/kg/min×60 = 0.3 mg/kg/hour

For the patient who weighs 95 kilograms

0.3 mg/kg/hour×95 = 28.5 mg/hour

For the mass of 125 mg of morphine sulfate

1 mg

250/150 = 2 ml/mg

Rate of infusion

28.5×2 = 57 mL/hr

∴ Rate of infusion is 57 mL/hr

A jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles. We randomly choose 4 marbles. If 2 of them are white and 2 are black, we stop. If no

Airida [17]

Answer:

<em>Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop). </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe that in the single trial, we have (8 4) possibilities of choosing our set of balls. If we have chosen two white balls and two black balls, the probability of doing that is simply

p=(4 2)*(4 2)/(8 4)

This is well know Hyper geometric distribution. Now, define random variable X that marks the number of trials that have been needed to obtain the right combination (two white and two black balls). From the nature of the problem, observe that X has Geometric distribution with parameter p that has been calculated above. Hence

P(X = n) = (1— p)^n-1 *( p )
