The cat Phillipa has become anxious. She has lost weight, and she is restless and sleepless. You are a veterinarian specializing in endocrinology. Your first determine that Phillipa has high thyroid hormone levels in her blood. Your next step is to determine whether the problem lies at the level of her hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, or thyroid gland.  Question: You discover an endocrine tumor in Phillipa’s hypothalamus. If this tumor is causing her symptoms, which hormone levels do you expect to find in her blood, compared to in a healthy cat? (Thyrotropin-releasing hormone = TRH, thyroid-stimulating hormone = TSH).

(08.02 MC) Arlene is testing whether school is more enjoyable when students are making high grades. She asked 100 students if they enjoyed school and whether their GPA was above or below 3.0. She found that 30 of the 40 students with a GPA above 3.0 reported that they enjoyed school, and 15 of the 60 students with a GPA below 3.0 reported that they enjoyed school. What is the probability that a student with a GPA below 3.0 does not enjoy school?
