According to a study of political prisoners, the mean duration of imprisonment for 31 prisoners with chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was 30.8 months. Assuming that o = 38 months, determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean duration of imprisonment, μ, of all political prisoners with chronic PTSD. Interpret your answer in words.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 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 2.33 . Use a 0.10 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? A. Upper H 0 : mu greater than0 mg/dL Upper H 1 : mu less than0 mg/dL B. Upper H 0 : mu equals0 mg/dL Upper H 1 : mu less than0 mg/dL C. Upper H 0 : mu…

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 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 0.8 and a standard deviation of 2.04. Use a 0.10 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.

An investigation of the relationship between traffic flow (measured in cars per day) and lead content (measured in micrograms per gram of dry weight) in the bark of trees near the highway yielded the following summary statistics: Sample Mean Sample Standard Deviation Lead Content (micrograms per gram dry weight) y¯=y¯= 680 sysy = 240 Traffic Flow (cars / day) x¯=x¯= 1750 sxsx = 800 The correlation between lead content and traffic flow was found to be r = 0.6 and a scatterplot showed the form to be linear. Since Traffic flow is the X-variable, its mean and standard deviation have been labelled x¯ and sxx¯ and sx. Since Lead content is the Y-variable, its mean and standard deviation have been labelled y¯ and syy¯ and sy . Determine slope and y-intercept of the least squares regression line for using X to predict Y. Group of answer choices Slope y-intercept
Researchers from a certain country were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents in their tropical environment compare to those found elsewhere in the world. The researchers randomly sampled 91 males and 109 females in their country. The mean and standard deviation of the spleen lengths for the males were 10.9 cm and 0.9 cm, respectively, and those for the females were 9.8 cm and 1.1 cm, respectively. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between mean spleen lengths of males and females in this country. Click here to view page 1 of the table of critical values of t. Click here to view page 2 of the table of critical values of t. Let population 1 be all males in the country and let population 2 be all females in the country.
