A neurological disease is characterized by gait imbalance. To provide effective treatment, it is important to detect the disease as soon as possible. In an experiment, age at onset of symptoms and age at diagnosis for 18 patients suffering from the disease were recorded for the same patients (in months). The differences in age were observed to be -38.60 months with a sample standard distribution of 23.18. Calculate a lower 95% confidence bound for the population mean of age differences and interpret the answer.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 42 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment.

A study of 22 goats reveals that the average length of a goat’s tail is 6.3 inches. If the standarddeviation is known to be 1.2 inches find a 95% confidence interval for the mean tail length.
A technician compares repair costs for two types of microwave ovens (type I and type II). He believes that the repair cost for type I ovens is greater than the repair cost for type II ovens. A sample of 35 type I ovens has a mean repair cost of $80.39. The population standard deviation for the repair of type I ovens is known to be $24.63. A sample of 31 type II ovens has a mean repair cost of $73.47. The population standard deviation for the repair of type II ovens is known to be $10.42. Conduct a hypothesis test of the technician's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Let i be the true mean repair cost for type I ovens and µz be the true mean repair cost for type II ovens. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
