ANSWER:

Problem 25E

Answer:

Step1:

We have X be temperature in 0C at which certain chemical reaction takes place, and let Y be the temperature in  0F(so Y = 1.8X + 32).

We need to find,

a. If the median of the X distribution is  X + 32)is the median of the Y distribution.

b. How is the 90th percentile of the Y distribution related to the 90th percentile of the X distribution? Verify your conjecture.

c. More generally, if Y = aX +b , how is any particular percentile of the Y distribution related to the corresponding percentile of the X distribution?

Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H30+). But recent research has revealed a role for some aquaporins in fat metabolism, in which they allow passage of glycerol, a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 5.11), as well as H20. Since H30+ is much closer in size to water than is glycerol, what do y
