Let x be a random variable that represents hemoglobin count (HC) in grams per 100 milliliters of whole blood. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with population mean of about 14 for adult healthy women. Suspose that a female patient has taken 10 labrotory blood test during the past year. The HC data sent to the patients doctors are as follows: 15 18 16 19 13 13 15 17 17 10 A) x-bar = s = B) Does this information indicate that the population average HC for this patient is higher than 14? use alpha= 0.01 what is the level of significance?

According to a recent poll, 27% of Americans get 30 minutes of exercise at least five days each week. Let's assume this is the parameter value for the population. You take a simple random sample of 25 Americans and let p(hat) equal the proportion in the sample who get 30 minutes of exercise at least five days per week. Does the sampling distribution pass the Normal condition? 1) Yes because n >= 30 2) No, because n < 30 3) Cannot be determined 4) No, because np < 10 5) Yes, because n (1-p) >= 10
