A pharmaceutical company is formulating a new medication that prevents painful gout attacks. However, the lead researchers are also mindful of its impacts to the human liver, which can be indicated by monitoring levels of alanine aminotransferase (or ALT, in U/L units) . If the ALT levels exceed an average of 55 U/L, there is an indication of the drug having damaging effects to the liver. Let us assume that ALT levels are normally distributed with standard deviation of 15.7 U/L. To determine the consequence of this new drug, they randomly selected 162 adult men with gout and monitored levels of alanine aminotransferase (or ALT, in U/L units) after taking the new medicine for 6 months. From the sample, it is found that the average ALT level is 59 U/L. It is suspected levels are significantly increased. Conduct a test of significance with a=0.05. (Source: Liver function tests.

The lifetime of a particular component is normally distributed with a mean of 1000 hours and a standard deviation of 100 hours. What is the 30th percentile of component lifetimes?
We have seen that drinking tea appears to offer a strong boost to the immune system. In a study extending the results,' blood samples were taken on 5 participants before and after one week of drinking about five cups of tea a day (the participants did not drink tea before the study started). The before and after blood samples were exposed to e.coli bacteria, and production of interferon gamma, a molecule that fights bacteria, viruses, and tumors, was measured. Mean production went from 155 pg/mL before tea drinking to 448 pg/mL after tea drinking. The mean difference for the 5 subjects is 293 pg/mL with a standard deviation in the differences of 242. The paper implies that the use of the t-distribution is appropriate.

Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout , leukemia or lymphoma. Over a period of months an adult male patient has taken even blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x =5.30mh/dL. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with standard deviation =1.95mg/dL. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patients blood What is margin of error? Lower limit? Upper limit? And margin of error?
The Ford car company is interested to know what is fuel consumption rate of its vehicles A large data set, collected in this study, shows that in average cars 11.7 liters per 100 km distance covered. The standard deviation of this value is 1.3 km per 100 km. Assuming that the histogram of this data set is normal, what percent of cars consume between between 10.5 to 11.9 liter of fuel?
High density lipoprotein (HDL) in healthy males follows a normal distribution with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 8. What proportion of healthy males has HDL exceeding 60?
A medical research team at the university is investigating the effectiveness of a new medical treatment for a rare disease. Data indicates that under the current treatment, patients have a mean white blood cell count of 23 cells/cc (cubic centimeter). This distribution is understood to be normally distributed, but the population standard deviation is not known. The new treatment will only be deemed effective if it significantly increases the patient’s white blood cell count above 23 cells/cc. The team has applied the treatment to a random sample of 10 patients. They have reported the following blood cell counts: 21, 25, 18, 24, 19, 25, 22, 20, 27, 25 At α = .01, is the new treatment effective?
The mean life expectancy in the US pop. is currently 81.1 years with a standard deviation of 15.9. A researcher examined the age of death of 70 people in Florida hospitals and the mean was 85.2 yrs. He runs a 2tailed test with a=.05 to see if FL has significantly different life expectancy to the overall US pop. Calculate the standard error, z statistic and critical z values from this information.
As of 2021 research is being conducted to study the effects of space travel on human body. For example, astronauts stay on the international Space Station (ISS) on missions and the amount of radiation they are exposed to is measured. Suppose the radiation they are exposed to on a regular six month mission follows a Normal distribution with mean 85 millisieverts(mSv) and standard deviation of 30 mSv. If the risk of cancer increases when the astranauts are exposed to more than 100mSv, what is the probability that an astranaut's cancer risk will increase during a regular mission?
Aldo, a highway safety inspector, is concerned about the potential for accidents caused by boulders that fall down a sandstone cliff beside a main highway.

Denny studied factors affecting cardiovascular reactivity to a postural change in a sample of healthy men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was determined every 30 seconds using a Dinamap device for 2 minutes, and the measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up immediately, and additional measurements were made for another 2 minutes. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Denny’s sample: Which measures of dispersion, if any, are presented in this table (Ranges, SDs)? If age is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would be younger than 50? If BMI is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would have a BMI higher than 33.1?
According to a recent poll, 28% of adults in a certain area have high levels of cholesterol. They report that such elevated levels "could be financially devastating to the regions healthcare system" and are a major concern to health insurance providers. According to recent studies, cholesterol levels in healthy adults from the area average about 207 mg/dL, with a standard deviation of about 20 mg/dL, and are roughly Normally distributed. Assume that the standard deviation of the recent studies is accurate enough to be used as the population standard deviation. If the cholesterol levels of a sample of 44 healthy adults from the region is taken, answer parts a through d. a) What shape will the sampling distribution of the mean have? A. The sampling distribution of the mean is skewed right. B. The sampling distribution of the mean is normal. C. The sampling distribution of the mean is skewed left. D. There is not enough information to determine the shape of the sampling distribution. b)…
