Aviation and high-altitude physiology is a specialty in the study of medicine. Letx= partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli (air cells in the lungs) when breathing naturally available air. Lety= partial pressure when breathing pure oxygen. The (x, y) data pairs correspond to elevations from 10,000 feet to 30,000 feet in 5000 foot intervals for a random sample of volunteers. Although the medical data were collected using airplanes, they apply equally well to Mt. Everest climbers (summit 29,028 feet).
