A researcher suspects the mean trough (the lowest dosage of medication required to see clinical improvement of symptoms) level for a medication used to treat arthritis is higher than was previously reported in other studies. If previous studies found the mean trough level of the population to be 3.7 micrograms/mL, and the researcher conducts a study among 93 newly diagnosed arthritis patients and finds the mean trough to be 6.1 micrograms/mL with a standard deviation of 2.4 micrograms/mL, for a level of significance of 1%, what should the researcher’s decision rule look like? Reject H0 if z is less than or equal to –2.326. Reject H0 if z is greater than or equal to 2.326. Reject H0 if z is less than or equal to –2.576. Reject H0 if z is greater than or equal to 2.5760
From a research survey, it was found that a random sample of 22 high school graduates of an exclusive school has a mean NSAT score of 90 with a standard deviation of 16, while a random sample of 24 high school graduates of a public school showed a mean NSAT score of 85 with a standard deviation of 12. Is there a significant difference in the NSAT performance of these two groups of high school graduates? Use 5% level of significance. 1. What is the conclusion in problem
In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 81 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.9 and a standard deviation of 16.7. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

Suppose that a report by a leading medical organization claims that the healthy human heart beats an average of 72 times per minute. Advances in science have led some researchers to question if the healthy human heart beats an entirely different amount of time, on average, per minute. They obtain pulse rate data from a sample of 85 healthy adults and find the average number of heart beats per minute to be 76, with a standard deviation of 13. Before conducting a statistical test of significance, this outcome needs to be converted to a standard score, or a test statistic. What would that test statistic be? (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place.) test statistic:
Given that the researcher wants to be sure the mean difference in the change in hemoglobin levels has a margin of error no more than 0.2 g/dL and the difference in the stand deviation between the mean hemoglobin levels for the two forms of iron supplements used to treat anemia is 1.2 g/dL, what is the desired number of recruits for the study, assuming the individuals will participate in a crossover trial, if the study’s attrition rate is expected to be .25?

Dr. Sylvester Stallone is a circadian rhythms researcher and believes sleep affects memory. Having collected data on a large number of subjects who are getting the recommended amount of sleep, he knows the mean digit span of this population is 5.6 digits. To test his hypothesis, he measures the digit span of 15 volunteers randomly selected from the population, after depriving them of one night’s sleep. The results show a mean (X bar) of 4.1 and a standard deviation of (s) 1.4. a. What does Dr. Stallone conclude, using and alpha of 0.05 (two tailed)? b. If appropriate, calculate the size of effect and provide an interpretation of the value?
