How much cocabutter is needed to distribute 12 tannic acid suppositories, each weighing 2 gm and containing 400 mg of tannic acid?

<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">18.67 gm </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">21.23 gm </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">13.25 gm </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr"> 14.12 gm </label>
Correct! Wrong!

We'd like to give out 12 suppositories, each weighing 2 grams and containing 400 milligrams of tannic acid:
Amount of coca butter = 2 gm x 12
= 24 gm
Amount of tannic acid = 0.4 gm x 12
= 4.8 gm.
Tannic acid has a displacement value of 0.9, so:
= 4.8/0.9 = 5.33 gm of base will displace
4.8 gm tannic acid = 5.33 gm cocabutter
Coca butter quantity = 24 gram - 5.33 gm
= 18.67 gm

How many 250 mg/100cc ready infusion-bags are required to satisfy the above request if the drug's dose is 10 mg/kg/day? The patient is 156 pounds.

<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">2 bags </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">5 bags </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">1 bag </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr"> 3 bags </label>
Correct! Wrong!

Because the patient's weight is 156 pounds, the weight in kilograms is 156/2.2 = 70.9 kilograms.
A usual medically recommended dose of medication is 10mg/kg/day, hence the dose in the patient mentioned above is 10mg/kg/day.
= 10 x 70.9
= 709 mg
Because each ready-infusion-bag contains 250 mg of medication, the total number of bags needed to satisfy an order is:
= 709/250 = 2.83 = 3 bags.

Which of the following Roman symbols represents 1,416?

<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">MCCCVI </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">MCDXVI </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">CDMXIV </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">MDLXVI </label>
Correct! Wrong!

M = 1,000; C = 100; D = 500; X = 10; V = 5; I = 1
When a smaller Roman numeral is placed before a higher Roman numeral, the subtraction steps are always performed first:
CD = (100 taken from 500) = 400
The rest is addition: M (1,000) + CD (400) + XVI (16) = 1,416

What is the likelihood of failure if the probability of success in the Null hypothesis is 0.6?

<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">0.4 </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">0.6 </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">0.3 </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">0.9 </label>
Correct! Wrong!

In the Null hypothesis, the total of the probabilities of success and failure equals 1 and can be represented using the following formula:
p + q = 1, where p is the chance of success and q is the probability of failure.
q = probability of failure
q = 1 - p
= 1- 0.6
= 0.4

Calculate the ratio strength of 0.4 percent.

<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">1 : 8 </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">1 : 250 </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">1 : 40 </label>
<label class="wq_answerTxtCtr">1 : 125 </label>
Correct! Wrong!

0.4 percent is the same as 0.4 percent of a hundred.
As a result, dividing 100 by 0.4 (which equals 250) yields the ratio strength of 1: 250. (Modafinil)
Extra credit: see if you can translate 0.7 percent to a ratio strength!
