When to use t statistic instead of z statistic for calculating whether a parameter falls above or below the lower confidence interval?
the standard rule of thumb is to use the t-statistic when the sample size is less than 30 or if the population standard deviation is unknown/estimated from sampling data and to use the z-statistic for 30 and above.
What difference does the thread count make?
Thread count is the number of horizontal and vertical threads woven in one square inch of fabric. As a general rule of thumb, the higher the thread count, the softer the fabric feels. High quality sheets have at least 180 threads per square inch.Higher thread counts tend to cost more.
Do you need more than 10 observations in linear regression?
This is a difficult question to answer. The pure answer is no. In reality, it depends on the level of randomness in the data. If you plot the data, it will give you an idea of the randomness. Even with 10 data points, 1 or 2 outliers can significantly change the regression equation. I am not aware of a rule of thumb on the minimum number of data points. Obviously, the more the better. Also, calculate the correlation coefficient. Be sure to follow the rules of regression. See the following website: http:/www.duke.edu/~rnau/testing.htm
How much increase of hematocrit level per 1 unit pf prbc?
A good rule of thumb is 1 Unit of PRBCs will raise an adult's Hgb by 1 g/dl or their Hct by 2~3%. For pediatrics, a 10 ml/kg transfusion will increase Hgb by 3 g/dl and Hct by 10% These are approximations, of course, and depend on the size of the patient, the exact Hct of the transfused blood, and red blood cell survival after transfusion. In general, a unit of PRBCs is ~300 ml and has a Hct of 70% Ref: "Clinical Anesthesiology," E. Morgan, M. Mikhail, M. Murray. 4th ed.
I am 21 and I am 5'11 how much should I weigh for my height?
To measure your frame size, put your right thumb and index finger around your left wrist. If your fingers overlap, select "small"; if your fingers touch, choose "medium"; if your fingers do not touch, choose "large." For a small frame: your ideal weight range is between 135 and 148 pounds. for a medium frame: between 145 and 159 pounds. for a large frame: between 155 and 176 pounds. Remember, if you have a significant amount of muscle mass, you may weigh more than the weight listed. These values do not apply to athletes and body builders, pregnant and nursing women, the frail or elderly or people under 18.

Where are the distal pulses located on a human body?
You can pick up a pulse in just about any artery that is accessible superficially. The ones commonly used to take a pulse from include the carotid arteries (on either side of the neck), the radial arteries (on the palm side of each wrist towards the thumb), the posterior tibial arteries (on the inside of the ankles just behind the bony hump), and the dorsalis pedis arteries (on the tops of the feet).You can also check the femoral arteries (inside of your thigh) as well as your brachial arteries (usually used for children and infants) which is found in the upper arm.
