The answer is the second one (Hemoglobin): the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

Explanation for each option:

  • Myoglobin: Incorrect. Myoglobin is an iron-containing protein found in muscle tissues, where it stores and releases oxygen, but it is not primarily responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood.
  • Hemoglobin: Correct. Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body.
  • Cytochrome: Incorrect. Cytochromes are proteins involved in electron transport and energy production within cells, but they do not carry oxygen in the blood.
  • Ferritin: Incorrect. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, but it does not carry oxygen in the blood.

Summary: The iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen is Hemoglobin.

Therefore, maximizing profits would be the same as maximizing revenue. Suppose Pfizer cannot price-discriminate. It has to charge everyone the same price. Pfizer would charge 190. Now suppose Pfizer can charge discriminatory prices, based on gender. Pfizer would charge women and charge men

Suppose there is a claim that a certain population has a mean, μ, that is different than 8. You want to test this claim. To do so, you collect a large random sample from the population and perform a hypothesis test at the 0.10 level of significance. To start this test, you write the null hypothesis, H₀, and the alternative hypothesis, H₁, as follows. H₀: μ=8 H₁: μ ≠ 8 Suppose you also know the following information. The value of the test statistic based on the sample is 1.472 (rounded to 3 decimal places). The p-value is 0.141 (rounded to 3 decimal places). (a) Complete the steps below for this hypothesis test. Standard Normal Distribution Step 1: Select one-tailed or two-tailed. One-tailed Two-tailed Step 2: Enter the test statistic. (Round to 3 decimal places.) Step 3: Shade the area represented by the p-value. Step 4: Enter the p-value. (Round to 3 decimal places.) (b) Based on your answer to part (a), which statement below is true? Since the p-value is less than (or equal to) the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected. Since the p-value is less than (or equal to) the level of significance, the null hypothesis is not rejected. Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected. Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

What point does the podcast end on with regards to polling and the 2016 election? Pollsters did a terrible job of predicting the 2016 election outcome and media organizations should put less trust in pollsters' work and results There is too much emphasis on policy issues in media coverage of elections and not enough focus on the horse race aspect of who is winning the campaign The broad consensus of news organizations that Clinton had the election locked up was not at all what the polls were saying in 2016 Pollsters in 2016 relied too heavily on self-selected Internet-only samples of likely voters, which impacted the accuracy of their results
