This is a warmup for your first project. The drug valium is eliminated from the bloodstream through a decay process with a half-life of 36 hours. This means that no matter how much drug is in your body, 36 hours later, half will be left. An initial dose of 20 milligrams of valium is taken at midnight. This is actually a version of the mixing-tank problem with the tank representing the circulatory system. If we don’t know something, give it a name (e. g. flow in = rin). Assume that the volume of blood in a person does not fluctuate much, so we can assume it is a constant. (a) Define your dependent and independent variable with units. Typical volume units for blood is in terms of Liters.
(b) What is the flow rate in? flow rate out? concentration going in? concentration going out? initial condition?
(c) Write the initial value problem (IVP).
(d) Solve your initial value problem.
(e) Use information given to you to determine all constants in your solution.
(f) What is the amount of valium in your body at noon the next day? How long does it take for the drug to reach 10% of its initial level?

The table shows population statistics for the ages of best actor and best supporting actor winners at an awards ceremony. the distributions of the ages are approximately bell-shaped. compare the z-scores for the actors in the following situation. best actor best supporting actor muequals42.0 muequals49.0 sigmaequals7.3 sigmaequals15 in a particular year, the best actor was 59 years old and the best supporting actor was 45 years old. determine the z-scores for each. best actor: z equals best supporting actor: z equals (round to two decimal places as needed.) interpret the z-scores. the best actor was (more than 2 standard deviations above more than 1 standard deviation above less than 1 standard deviation above less than 2 standard deviations below) the mean, which (is not, is) unusual. the best supporting actor was (less than 1 standard deviation below more than 1 standard deviation above more than 2 standard deviations below more than 1 standard deviation below) the mean, which (is is not) unusual.
