Twenty milligrams of drug y is injected intravenously. one hour after the injection, blood is collected and assayed for the concentration of drug y. if the concentration of drug y in this specimen was 0.4 mg/l, what is the volume of the distribution for this drug?

The volume of the distribution for this drug is 50 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Amount of Drug Y injected = 20 milligrams

Concentration of drug Y = 0.4 mg/L

Now,

The concentration is given as:

concentration =

Thus,

0.4 mg/L =  

or

Volume of solution =

or

Volume of solution = 50 L

Hence,

The volume of the distribution for this drug is 50 L

The complete question is:

1.) The probability distribution of a random variable is:

a.)the possible values of the random variable.

b.)the degree to which the variable’s possible values are spread out.

c.) the possible values of the random variable and the frequency with which the variable takes each value.

The correct answer is c) the possible values of the random variable and the frequency with which the variable takes each value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution for a random variable shows the distribution of the probabilities of the possible value of the random variable. The probability of a random variable can be seen as the possible values of the random variable and the frequency with which the variable takes each value.
