A study claims that over 40% of those who suffer from osteoarthritis receive measurable relief from an ingredient produced by a particular species of mussel. To test this claim, the mussel extract is to be given to a group of 73 osteoarthritic patients and the critical region is defined to be x< 25, where x is the number of osteoarthritic patients who receive relief. If x is not in this region, we shall not reject the null hypothesis that p = 0.4; otherwise, we conclude that p<0.4. (a) Evaluate a, assuming that p = 0.4. (b) Evaluate B for the alternative p=0.3.

In 1992 a national vital statistics report indicated that about 2.3% of all births produced twins. Is the rate of twin births th same among very young mothers? Data from a large city hospital found only 7 sets of twins were born to 455 teenage girls. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Be sure the appropriate assumptions and conditions are satisfied before you proceed. MA: P >0.023 B. Ho: p=0.023 HA: P = 0.023 OC. Ho: p=0.023 HA: P<0.023 OD.

A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their average glucose level is above 140 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=140+5 mg/dl and σ=5+1 mg/dl. Using the Central Limit Theorem, determine the probability of Rebecca being diagnosed with gestational diabetes if her glucose level is measured: Once? n=5+2 times n=5+4 times Comment on the relationship between the probabilities observed in (a), (b), and (c). Explain, using concepts from lecture why this occurs and what it means in context.
An instructor for a test preparation course claims that the course will improve the test scores of students. The table shows the critical reading scores for 14 students the first two times they took the test. Before taking the test for the second time, the students took the instructor's course to try to improve their critical reading test scores. At a = 0.01, is there enough evidence to support the instructor's claim? Complete parts (a) through (f).

To check the effect of hot temperatures on the elasticity of two brands of rubber bands, one box of Brand A and one box of Brand B rubber bands are tested. Ten bands from the Brand A box are placed in a warm car in the sun for two hours and ten bands from the Brand B box are kept at room temperature. The amount of stretch before the breakage is measured on each rubber band, and the mean for the hot bands is compared to the mean for the others. Is this a good experimental design? No, because No, because temperature is confounded No, because No, because the means are more than two more not proper Yes brands should temperatures should be used. statistics for be used. with brand. comparison.

Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 40 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,250 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6,250 lb / 40 = 163 lb. What is the possiblity that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct an overloaded aircraft? Assume that the weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 177.3 lb and a standard deviation of 39.3 The probability is approximately

Suppose that we want to determine if the average amount of timespent online by the students is lessthan 4.5 hours/day. To this end, weconduct a survey of students and askthem how long they spend online perday.
