In the past, an irregular heart rhythm was treated by using a drug to help regulate the beat. There is a treatment that can also regulate heart rhythms that has replaced drugs in some cases. What is that treatment?A. pacemaker

B. angioplasty

C. clot-dissolving drugs

D. myocardial infarction

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The pacemakers are implants that are used for the regulation of heartbeats (correction of irregular heartbeats).

It is a small device, implanted (minor surgical procedure) just under the skin of the chest, that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm.

 

The pacemaker has two parts:

·         the leads which are threaded through the veins into the heart and implanted into the heart muscle. They send impulses from the pulse generator to the heart muscle. There can be one or more leads depending on the type of the heart problem

·         a pulse generator which contains the battery and a tiny computer and resides just under the skin of the chest.

Each impulse causes the heart to contract. A pacemaker may also be used to treat different heart issues such as fainting spells (syncope), congestive heart failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

What is the probability that a person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level between 9 and 11? Select one of the options below as your answer:



A.
0.257




B.
0.284




C.
0.312




D.
0.356




E.
0.548

Answers

1. The probability that a person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level between 9 and 11 is 0.284.

2. The probability that a person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level of 9 and above is 0.531.

What is probability?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

Given

Let the number of person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level between 9 and 11 be x.

From the given table it is clear that the total number of person who is older than 35 years is 162.

76+x+40 = 162

116+x = 162

x = 46

The number of person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level between 9 and 11 is 46.

1.The probability that a person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level between 9 and 11 is

P = 46/162 = 0.62

The probability that a person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level between 9 and 11 is 0.284.

Person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level  of 9 and above is 40+46 = 86

The probability that a person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level of 9 and above is

P = 82/162 = 0.531

The probability that a person who is older than 35 years has a hemoglobin level of 9 and above is 0.531.

Which events may cause long-term changes in climate?

Answers

The answer is Changes in the shape of earth orbit. If the earth's orbit put the earth closer to the sun, then the global temperatures of the earth would rise permanently. Conversely, if the orbit change puts the earth further from the sun, then the earth global temperature would drop permanently.

Answers

The answer would be C  physical weathering because heat and the breaking of the rock can be the result of physical weathering, and the other answers would not make sense.
Biological weathering would be the breaking down of the object due to a form of life (incorrect answer),
erosion is the carrying away of something (incorrect answer),
and chemical weathering would be changing the identity of the substance(incorrect answer).

Suppose scientists could compare the DNA of modern humans from around the world with the DNA of Homo erectus populations from the humans’ native homelands. If DNA samples from each modern human were found to be most similar to the Homo erectus DNA from their homeland, that finding would__________________. a. support the multiregional model.. b. support the out-of-Africa model.. c. support both the multiregional model and the out-of-Africa model.. d. disprove both the multiregional model and the out-of-Africa model.

Answers

A. Support the multiregional theory as it would suggest that the evolution from homo erectus had happened naturally across the globe. 

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

a. support the multiregional model.

Multiregional model is a scientific model that provides explanataion of pattern of evolution of modern humans. It is an alternative explanation of Out of Africa model.

According to this model, modern humans that are present around the world (that in various regions or multiregions of the world) show similarity to the Homo erectus found in Africa.

In other words, species of human beings first originated in Africa as Homo erectus, which then underwent subsequent human evolution upon dispersing in various regions around the world. These species include all archaic forms of human like Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and evolved worldwide as Homo sapiens ( modern human forms).

Thus, option a) is the right answer.
