Suppose a brewery has a filling machine that fills 12-ounce bottles of beer. It is known that the amount of beer poured by this filling machine follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.15 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.04 ounce. The company is interested in reducing the amount of extra beer that is poured into the 12 ounce bottles. The company is seeking to identify the highest 1.5% of the fill amounts poured by this machine. For what fill amount are they searching?

Study the diagram below carefully.  It shows a cell membrane (tan) separating the extracellular fluid (A) from the intracellular fluid (B). The small circles represent polar solutes dissolved in water. Use the pull-down menus below to insert the best, technical terms into the following sentences to make them true: In the above diagram, water will move across the plasma membrane by the process of [blank1].  For the situation seen above, water will move [blank2] the cell.  The inside of the cell above would be considered [blank3], relative to the outside of the cell.  If the cell above is an erythrocyte, it will eventually [blank4] in this solution.
