Eight Milligrams of a Dye Are Injected into a Vein $n = 12$

Short Answer

Eight milligrams of a dye are injected into a vein leading the an individual's heart. The concentration of dye in the aorta (in milligrams per liter) measured at 2-sec intervals is shown in the accompanying table. Use Simpson's Rule with $n = 12$ and the formula
$$R = \frac { 60 D } { \int _ { 0 } ^ { 24 } C ( t ) d t }$$ to estimate the person's cardiac output, where $D$ is the quantity of dye injected in milligrams, $C ( t )$ is the concentration of the dye in the aorta, and $R$ is measured in liters per minute. Round to one decimal place.
