The answer is the fourth one: Endocarditis.

Explanation for each option:

  • Epicarditis: This term refers to inflammation of the epicardium, which is the outer layer of the heart. It is not related to the internal lining of the cardiac chambers and valves.

  • Myocarditis: This term describes inflammation of the myocardium, which is the muscular middle layer of the heart wall. It does not involve the internal lining of the cardiac chambers and valves.

  • Pericarditis: This term refers to inflammation of the pericardium, the fibrous sac surrounding the heart. It is not related to the internal lining of the cardiac chambers and valves.

  • Endocarditis: This term is used to describe inflammation of the endocardium, which is the internal lining of the cardiac chambers and valves. This is the correct term for the condition described in the question.

In summary, the correct term for inflammation of the internal lining of the cardiac chambers and valves is Endocarditis.

Records indicate that the mean weight of mature chinook salmon is 33.4 kg. After years of major overfishing, biologists estimate that the current mean weight of mature chinook salmon is 14.1 kg. Assume the current weights follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.3 kg. To test whether the population mean has changed, a random sample of 10 mature chinook salmon will be selected and their weights will be measured. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (b) Find the critical value(s). (c) Perform a hypothesis test. Use α = 0.05. The value of the test statistic is given by z = (x̄ - μ0) / (σ/sqrt(n)) where x̄ is the sample mean and μ0 is the hypothesized population mean.
