Potassium superoxide, $KO_2$, is employed in a self-contained breathing apparatus used by emergency personnel as a source of oxygen. The reaction is\

$4KO_2(s) + 2H_2O(l) \longrightarrow 4KOH(s) + 3O_2(g)$\

Say a self-contained breathing apparatus is charged with 750 g $KO_2$ and then is used to produce 195 g of oxygen. Was all of the $KO_2$ consumed in this reaction? If the $KO_2$ wasn’t all consumed, how much is left over and what mass of additional $O_2$ could be produced?

An emergency cell phone charger requires you to turn a small crank in order to create the energy needed to recharge the phone’s battery. If you turn the crank 120 times per minute, the total number r of revolutions that you turn the crank is given by r = 120t where t is the time (in minutes) spent turning the crank. a. Graph the function and identify its domain and range. b. Identify the domain and range if you stop turning the crank after 4 minutes. Explain how this affects the appearance of the graph.

After a heavy meal rich with fried foods, Debby Collins, an overweight 45-year-old woman, was rushed to the emergency room with severe spasmodic pains in her epigastric region that radiated to the right side of her rib cage. She indicated that the attack came on suddenly, and her abdomen was found to be tender to the touch and somewhat rigid. What do you think is this patient's problem and why is her pain discontinuous (colicky)? What are the treatment options and what might happen if the problem is not resolved?

The frequency distribution shows the number of medical tests conducted on 30 randomly selected emergency room patients.

Number of tests performed	Number of patients
0	11
1	9
2	5
3	4
4 or more	1

If a patient is selected at random, find these probabilities:

a. The patient had exactly 3 tests done. b. The patient had at most 2 tests done. c. The patient has 1 or 2 tests done. d. The patient had fewer than 3 tests done. e. The patient had at least 3 tests done.

You are working in the emergency department (ED) of a community hospital when the ambulance arrives with A.N., an $18$-year-old woman who was caught in a house fire. She was sleeping when the fire started and managed to make her way out of the house through thick smoke. The emergency medical system crew initiated humidified oxygen at $15 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min}$ per nonrebreather mask and started a $16$-gauge IV with lactated Ringer's solution. On arrival to the ED, her vital signs are $100/66, 125, 34$, $\mathrm{SaO}_2 93 \%$. An additional $16$-gauge IV is inserted. She appears anxious and in pain.

Eighteen hours after the injury, the NAP reports these vital signs for A.N. and states that the urine output for the past hour was $20$ mL.

$$\begin{aligned} &\text { Vital Signs }\\ &\begin{array}{ll} \text { Blood pressure } & 90 / 50 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg} \\ \text { Heart rate } & 110 \text { beats } / \mathrm{min} \\ \text { Respiratory rate } & 24 \text { breaths } / \mathrm{min} \end{array} \end{aligned}$$

What treatment do you anticipate?

The following table, reproduced from earlier exercise, gives the probability distribution of the number of patients who enter Millard Fellmore Memorial Hospital's emergency room in a given hour.

$$\begin{array}{l|ccccccc} \hline \text { Patients per hour } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\ \hline \text { Probability } & .2725 & .3543 & .2303 & .0998 & .0324 & .0084 & .0023 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

Calculate this probability distribution's mean and standard deviation.

Assume that people and businesses have reasonable expectations. Explain how the events listed below will affect aggregate output and the price level. a. The Fed reduces the required reserve ratio unexpectedly. b. Congress passes a tax-cut bill that takes effect in a year and lasts ten years. c. The Fed announces a reduction in the money supply. d. OPEC abruptly reduces oil production by half. e. The government passes an unannounced emergency defence spending bill, authorising a $500 billion increase in funding immediately.

Desert Samaritan Hospital, in Mesa, Arizona, keeps records of emergency room traffic. Those records reveal that the times between arriving patients have a special type of reverse-J-shaped distribution called an exponential distribution. The records also show that the mean time between arriving patients is 8.7 minutes. a. Simulate four random samples of 75 interarrival times each. b. Perform a correlation test for normality on each sample in part (a). Use $\alpha=0.05$. c. Are the conclusions in part (b) what you expected? Explain your answer.

While playing on her swing set, 10-year-old Rebecca falls and breaks her right leg. At the emergency room, the doctor tells her parents that the proximal end of the tibia where the epiphysis meets the diaphysis is fractured. The fracture is properly set and eventually heals. During a routine physical when she is 18, Rebecca learns that her right leg is 2.54 cm (1 in.) shorter than her left. What might account for this difference?

In each of the following sentences, circle any letter that should be capitalized and draw a slash (\/) through any letter that should be lowercase. **Example 1**. $\text{\textcircled}{\text{{d}}}$id you ask $\text{\textcircled}{\text{{d}}}$r. fishbein or her ${\sout{\text{D}}}$ental ${\sout{\text{A}}}$ssistant about your toothache during your appointment last $\text{\textcircled}{\text{{f}}}$riday? “In case of an Emergency,” the notice read, “Please call $911$ to reach ems or the police.”

Malcolm injured himself after trying to break his fall with outstretched arms. The emergency room physician took one look at his shoulder and saw that Malcolm had a broken clavicle (and no other injury). Describe the position of Malcolm’s shoulder. What part of the clavicle was most likely broken? Malcolm was worried about injury to the main blood vessels to his arm (the subclavian vessels), but he was told such injury was unlikely. Why could the doctor predict this?

Heart failure is due to either natural occurrences (87%) or outside factors (13%). Outside factors are related to induced substances or foreign objects. Natural occurrences are caused by arterial blockage, disease, and infection. Suppose that 20 patients will visit an emergency room with heart failure. Assume that causes of heart failure between individuals are independent. (a) What is the probability that three individuals have conditions caused by outside factors? (b) What is the probability that three or more individuals have conditions caused by outside factors? (c) What are the mean and standard deviation of the number of individuals with conditions caused by outside factors?

The frequency table summarizes the distribution of time that 140 patients at the emergency room of a small-city hospital waited to receive medical attention during the last month.

$$\begin{array}{lr} \hline \text { Waiting time } & \text { Frequency } \\ \hline \text { Less than } 10 \text { minutes } & 5 \\ \text { At least } 10 \text { but less than } 20 \text { minutes } & 24 \\ \text { At least } 20 \text { but less than } 30 \text { minutes } & 45 \\ \text { At least } 30 \text { but less than } 40 \text { minutes } & 38 \\ \text { At least } 40 \text { but less than } 50 \text { minutes } & 19 \\ \text { At least } 50 \text { but less than } 60 \text { minutes } & 7 \\ \text { At least } 60 \text { but less than } 70 \text { minutes } & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

Which of the following represents possible values for the median and IQR of waiting times for the emergency room last month? (a) median = 27 minutes and IQR = 15 minutes (b) median = 28 minutes and IQR = 25 minutes (c) median = 31 minutes and IQR = 35 minutes (d) median = 35 minutes and IQR = 45 minutes (e) median = 45 minutes and IQR = 55 minutes
