A food manufacturer claims that eating its new cereal as part of a daily diet lowers total blood cholesterol levels. The table shows the total blood cholesterol levels (in milligrams per deciliter of blood) of seven patients before eating the cereal and after one year of eating the cereal as part of their diets. Use technology to test the mean difference. Assume the samples are random and dependent, and the population is normally distributed. At a 0.05, can you conclude that the new cereal lowers total blood cholesterol levels?

A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of 9 patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) was as follows: 2.6; 2.8; 3.0; 2.3; 2.3; 2.2; 2.8; 2.1; and 2.4.NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a)
A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their glucose level is above 144 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after a sugary drink is ingested. Rebecca's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. Rebecca's measured glucose level one hour after ingesting the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with µ= 146 mg/dl and o = 4 mg/dl. What is the probability of Rebecca being diagnosed with gestational diabetes if her glucose level is measured: (a) 4 times CS Scanned with CamScanner
Aleks spins a 9 sided spinner 56 times. Each of the nine sides has a different colour on it. He records the number of times that he spins the colour purple. What values need to be determined in order to use a normal approximation? Determine these values.
For the population of one town, the number of siblings, x, is a random variable whose relative frequency histogram has a reverse J-shape. The mean number of siblings is 1.3 and the standard deviation is 1.5. Let x denote the mean number of siblings for a random sample of size 32. Determine whether the distribution of x is normal or approximately normal and find its mean and standard deviation.
A bottler of drinking water fills plastic bottles with a mean volume of 994 millimeters (mL) with a standard deviation of 5 mL. The fill volumes are normally distributed. What proportion of bottles have volumes less than 995 mL? Use Table A.2 (Normal Distribution Table) and keep four decimal places with your answer.
The table available below shows the weights (in pounds) for a sample of vacuum cleaners. The weights are classified according to vacuum cleaner type. At a = 0.10, can you conclude that at least one mean vacuum cleaner weight is different from the others? Click the icon to view the vacuum cleaner weight data.

Use the Empirical Rule. The mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 68 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 3 miles per hour. Estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour. (Assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.) Approximately nothing% of vehicles travel between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.
Researchers wanted to determine if carpeted rooms contained more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms. To determine the amount of bacteria in a room, researchers pumped the air from the room over a Petri dish at the rate of 1 cubic foot per minute for eight carpeted rooms and eight uncarpeted rooms. Colonies of bacteria were allowed to form in the 16 Petri dishes. The results are given in the table below. Assume the distribution to be approximately normal. Do carpeted rooms have more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms? Carpeted Rooms Uncarpeted Rooms 11.7 12.0 8.2 8.3 7.1 3.8 13.1 7.3 10.6 12.0 10.1 11.1 14.8 10.3 14.0 13.7 What is the critical value(s) for this hypothesis test if group 1 is the carpeted rooms and group 2 is the uncarpeted rooms. 1.895 2.306 2.365 1.833 1.860

Exactly 95% of a normal distribution is located between z = +1.96 and z = -1.96. How much of the distribution is located in the tail beyond z = +1.96?
Sunscreens are products that protect the skin from skin cancer by preventing the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation from penetrating the skin. According to dermatologists, the recommended amount of sunscreen needed to cover the exposed areas of the body is at least an ounce. In a study conducted specifically for a group of women aged 21 to 30 years, it was found the amount of sunscreen (X) applied by the group follows the normal distribution with mean of 0.6 ounce and standard deviation of 0.25 ounce. The amount of sunscreen applied by women aged 21 to 30 years follows a bell-shaped distribution which is symmetric at X = _____.
