8. Let x be a random variable that represents the hemoglobin count (HC) in human blood (measured in grams per milliliter). In healthy adult females, x has an approximately normal distribution with a population mean of µ =14.2, and population standard deviation of o = 2.5. Suppose a female patient had 10 blood tests over the past year, and the sample mean HC was determined to be = 15.1. With a level of significance a = .05 determine whether he patient's HC is higher than the population average.

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 86 and standard deviation o = 23. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) USE SALT (a) x is more than 60 1292 (b) x is less than 110 0.9236 X (c) x is between 60 and 110 0.7526 (d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125) 6.3
Suppose X is a non-standard normal variable, with a mean of 118, and std deviation of 15 (i.e. X~N(118,15)). You have an observation (z) on a standard normal scale (i.e. Z~N(0,1)). If z = -0.03, what is it on an X scale?
Suppose a population has a standard deviation of 10. Assume that we continue to select groups of 100 individuals from the population and calculate the sample means. The variation among all these sample means is measured by o/v(n). Compare the distribution of single observations (x) with that of the means x. (That is, compare the histograms of x and x.) We can conclude that the distribution of x is spread out. In other words, averages vary much than individual observations. less; less less; more more; less more; more

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. The critical value(s) is/are Find the standardized test statistic z for μ1−μ2.

By measuring the amount of time it takes a component of a product to move from one workstation to the next, a technologist has estimated that the standard deviation is 5.00 seconds. What sample size should be used in order to be 95% certain that the mean transfer is estimated to within ±1.00 seconds?
The nicotine content in cigarettes of a certain brand is normally distributed with mean (in milligrams) u and standard deviation o = 0.1. The brand advertises that the mean nicotine content of their cigarettes is 1.5 mg. Now, suppose a reporter wants to test whether the mean nicotine content is actually higher than advertised. He takes measurements from a SRS of 15 cigarettes of this brand. The sample yields an average of 1.6 mg of nicotine. Conduct a test using a significance level of a = 0.05. (a) The standardized test statistic (b) The critical value (endpoint of Rejection Region) is z* = (c) The final conclusion is OA. The nicotine content is probably higher than advertised. B. There is not sufficient evidence to show that the ad is misleading.

Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 88 and standard deviation σ = 21.

Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (i.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is μ = 7.2.† A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 36 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.6 with sample standard deviation s = 3.3. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of the blood. (a) What is the level of significance?
