The Trans-Alaskan Pipeline pumps on average 500,000 barrels of oil everyday from the northern slope of Alaska down to Valdez port in the southern part of the state. The pipeline is 800.3 miles long which is farther than Dardanelle to San Antonio, Texas. The four foot diameter pipeline was completed in 1977 for the bargain basement price of $8,000,000,000. CRAZY!?! There are 12 pump stations along the pipeline that keep the crude oil moving. The crude oil around the world is sold by the barrel(5.61ft3) at current cost of $65.94 each . What is the value of the oil in the pipeline? Explain.

Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. this may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma.† over a period of months, an adult male patient has taken nine blood tests for uric acid. the mean concentration was x = 5.35 mg/dl. the distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with σ = 1.87 mg/dl. (a) find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. what is the margin of error? (round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit upper limit margin of error (b) what conditions are necessary for your calculations? (select all that apply.) σ is unknown n is large σ is known normal distribution of uric acid uniform distribution of uric acid (c) interpret your results in the context of this problem. there is not enough information to make an interpretation. the probability that this interval contains the true average uric acid level for this patient is 0.05. the probability that this interval contains the true average uric acid level for this patient is 0.95. there is a 95% chance that the confidence interval is one of the intervals containing the population average uric acid level for this patient. there is a 5% chance that the confidence interval is one of the intervals containing the population average uric acid level for this patient. (d) find the sample size necessary for a 95% confidence level with maximal margin of error e = 1.10 for the mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. (round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) blood tests
