A pharmaceutical company wishes to test a new drug with the expectation of lowering cholesterol levels. Ten subjects are randomly selected and pretested. The subjects were placed on the drug for a period of 6 months, after which their cholesterol levels were tested again. The results are listed below. (All units are mg/dL.) Test the company's claim that the drug lowers cholesterol levels. Use a = 0.01. Assume the distribution is normally distributed.

Compute the value of the test statistic and conclude.
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.) (i) Round your answer to two decimal places. x = (rounded to two decimal places)(ii) Round your answer to two decimal places. sx = (rounded to two decimal places)(iii) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. n = (iv) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. n − 1 = Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom.)

A large automobile insurance company selected samples of single and married male policyholders and recorded the number who made an insurance claim over the preceding three-year period. Single Policyholders Married Policyholders n1=550 n2=1,000 Number making claims = 110 Number making claims = 150 a. Use a=0.05 Test to determine whether the claim rates differ between single and married male policyholders. z-value (to 2 decimals) p-value (to 4 decimals) b.

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
