7.S.6 A plant physiologist conducted an experiment to determine whether mechanical stress can retard the growth of soybean plants. Young plants were randomly allocated to two groups of 13 plants each. Plants in one group were mechanically agitated by shaking for 20 minutes twice daily, while plants in the other group were not agitated. After 16 days of growth, the total stem length (cm) of each plant was measured, with the results given in the accompanying table.78 Consider a t test to compare the treatments with the alternative hypothesis

People with high blood pressure suffer from hypertension. Data on fasting blood sugar (milligrams/deciliter) and magnesium (milligrams/deciliter) in blood specimens collected from 60 patients diagnosed with hypertension were collected. The accompanying technology printout gives 90% confidence intervals for the mean fasting blood sugar (FBS) and mean magnesium level (MAG). Use this information to complete parts a through d below.

7.2.14 In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 43 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before- after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 4.7 and a standard deviation of 15.8. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol? Click here to view a t distribution table.

You measure 45 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 62 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 12.7 ounces. Based on this, what is the maximal margin of error associated with a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight.Give your answer as a decimal, to two places
The waterworks commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day. They would like to estimate to have a maximum error of 0.13 gallons. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 2.56 gallons and the mean is 16.3 gallons per day. If they are using 80% level of confidence, how large of a same is required to estimate the mean usage of water? round answer up to the next integer.
Mrs. Gallas wanted to estimate the average weight of an Oreo cookie to determine if theaverage weight was less than advertised. She selected a random sample of 30 cookies andfound the weight of each cookie (in grams). The mean weight was = 11.1921 grams with astandard deviation of sx = 0.0817 grams. Make a 95% confidence interval to estimate the truemean weight of an Oreo. 1. What is the formula for calculating the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x? 2.What condition must be met to use this formula? Has it been met?

The electric cooperative needs to know the mean household usage of electricity by its non-commercial customers in kWh per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 kWh. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 4.84 kWh and the mean is 19.1 kWh per day. If they are using a 80% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity?

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?
