Late clinical, lab, and simulation assignments will receive a deduction of 20% of the maximum possible points for each day (24-hour period) they are submitted late, beginning at the date and time they are due. To avoid late deductions, requests for extensions must be made by email to course faculty, prior to the deadline.

The Newborn Prep Assignment is due 2/25/24; Week 1 Sherpath Assignments and EAQs are due 2/27/25; Med Math Quiz 1 is due 2/28/25.

The course uses interactive course software during lecture. If a student misses class or has a response rate less than 75%, they will receive zero points for Attendance and Participation for the week. No exceptions will be provided without SLDS accommodation, but the lowest Attendance and Participation grade from the term will be dropped. 

Noodles & Company tested consumer reaction to two spaghetti sauces. Each of 20 raters assessed both sauces on a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best) using several taste criteria. To correct for possible bias in tasting order, half the raters tasted Sauce A first, while the other half tasted Sauce B first. Actual results are shown below for “overall liking.” Calculate the mean and standard deviation for each sample. Click the blue link below to get the data in an Excel sheet.

In Linear Regression, as we add more predicting variables to a model:

Where on Earth would stars rise and set perpendicular to your location?

Let’s say you  were one of the first astronauts to land on Mars.  From your new vantage points, you could potentially view a transit of how many of the other planets within our Solar System? 

The next series of questions are all linked with the following prompt: An asteroid could be on a collision course with Earth! Oh my! We must save our dear planet by learning everything we can about this possible intruder.  What is the perihelion distance of the asteroid?  Here is what you have deduced thus far:  the eccentricity of its orbit is 0.39, the velocity of the asteroid is 15000km/hr, the semi-major axis is 1.71 AU, and it is composed of rocky metals. Please read and comply with the input instructions below in typing your answer.    Input Instructions:  Do not round your values mid-calculation. Keep as many decimal places as possible or use the Answer button on your calculator. Only round your final answer.  Round your answer to two decimal places and include the correctly abbreviated and capitalized unit for your answer.  Do not use commas, E or scientific notation.  Your answer must match my answer exactly to score correct. For example:  54.789 meters would be inputted as 54.79 m.  

If the Earth magically started moving at twice its current velocity in its orbit around the Sun, which of the following would be true?  All numbers quoted are rough estimates.
