In Lab 2, you conducted a virtual lab simulation that used a dialysis bag that was placed into a beaker of fluid. Remember that dialysis bags are like artificial cells, such that their membrane is selectively permeable to solutes and solvents. Imagine that you have a dialysis bag filled with a 2 M NaCl solution. That dialysis bag is placed in a beaker filled with a 3 M glucose solution. Assume that both of these solutions are aqueous and this dialysis bag material is impermeable to both solutes, but permeable to the solvent. In the space below, briefly describe what will happen to the volume of fluid inside the dialysis bag over the next 30 minutes and explain HOW this change will happen. PRO TIP: You may want to draw this situation out on your scratch paper so you can visualize what’s going on …

The produce manager at a farmer’s market was interested in determining how many oranges a person buys when they buy oranges. He asked the cashiers over a weekend to count how many oranges a person bought when they bought oranges and record this number for analysis at a later time. The data is given in the table below. The random variable x represents the number of oranges purchased and P(x) represents the probability that a customer will buy x oranges. Determine the mean number of oranges purchase by a customer.

According to government data, the probability than an adult never had the flu is 11%. You randomly select 53 adults and ask if he or she ever had the flu. Can you use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution? If so, find the mean and standard deviation, If not, explain why.

Imagine that you are using a microscope exactly like the virtual one you used in the Lab 1 simulations. When you look through the eye pieces, you see this sort of image: This image is showing two separate views of the same specimen that do not overlap, hence the duplication of all features, including the stars. What should you adjust on the microscope to improve the quality of this image?
