Absorption Rates into the Body Are Important Factors When Manufacturing

question 56

Multiple Choice

Absorption rates into the body are important factors when manufacturing a generic version of a brand-name drug. A pharmacist read that the absorption rate into the body of a new generic drug (G) is the same as its brand-name counterpart (B) . She has a researcher friend of hers run a small experiment to test H0: μG - μB = 0 against the alternative HA: μG - μB ≠ 0. Which of the following would be a Type I error?

• A) Deciding that the absorption rates of G are higher, when in fact they are not.
• B) Deciding that the absorption rates of G are lower, when in fact they are not.
• C) Deciding that the absorption rates are the same, when in fact they are not.
• D) Deciding that the absorption rates are different, when in fact they are not.
• E) Deciding that the absorption rates are the same, when in fact the absorption rates of G are higher.

Definitions:

Lewis Structure

A diagram that represents the valence electrons of atoms within a molecule, indicating how these electrons are arranged in bonds between atoms and lone pairs.

2-Propanol

Also known as isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol, a secondary alcohol used as a solvent and disinfectant.

Lone Pairs

Pairs of valence electrons on an atom that are not shared with another atom and do not participate in bonding.

Electron Density

A measure of the probability of electron presence at a specific location around the nucleus of an atom or within a molecule, often visualized in electron density maps.
