According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, the healthcare providers consider a fever to be 100.4◦F. Data was acquired in a health center that observed 24 adults with COVID- 19. We want to find out if the sample mean of 104◦F body temperature of adults with COVID-19 is significantly higher than the body temperature of a person with fever. Consider the sample SD of 10.2◦F.

The Following are Data for Systolic Blood Pressures, in mm of Mercury, of 12 Chimpanzees. 121, 125, 128, 134, 136, 138, 139, 141,144, 145, 149, 151 Based on this sample, do chimps have higher systolic blood pressure than humans, their closest relatives? Make sure you state the statistical hypotheses and conclusions, as well as the biological conclusions.
A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of eight ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. BIG Corporation would like to estimate the mean amount of coffee, μ, dispensed per cup by this machine. BIG will choose a random sample of cup amounts dispensed by this machine and use this sample to estimate μ. Assuming that the standard deviation of cup amounts dispensed by this machine is 0.42 ounces, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for BIG to be 99% confident that its estimate is within 0.08 ounces of μ? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements).

A consumer advocacy group conducts a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the group would like to do a statistical test on the mean monthly mileage,μ, of cars rented in the US this year. The consumer advocacy group has good reason to believe that the average monthly mileage for rental cars in the US this year is higher than last year's average, which was2700miles. The group plans to perform a statistical test on the value ofu. To do this, choose a random sample of miles driven per month and calculate that the sample mean is2835miles and the standard deviation is750miles. Use this information to complete the parts below. (to) What are the null hypothesesh and the alternative hypothesish, What should be used to perform the test? h :0 0 (b) (c) h :0 1 Assume that the group decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What kind of mistake could you be making? (Choose an option) Suppose the true average monthly mileage for rental cars in the US this year is2850. Fill in…
Database A contains 40 data items and is made up with an equal number of the values of 0 and 100 and has a mean of 50. Database B also has 40 entries made up equally of the values 49 and51 and also has a mean of 50. Which database will have the smaller value for its standard deviation?
The drug manufacturer claim that taking gemfibrozil is beneficial to reduce the chance of heart attacks. 2051 men took the medication, and a control group of 2030 men took a placebo. During the next five years, 56 men in the drug group and 84 men in the placebo group had heart attacks. We would like to compare the proportion of men who develop heart attacks between the drug group and the placebo group. What are the correct x1 and x2 values in order to calculate the pooled sample proportion? a) x1=2051, x2=2030 b) x1=2051, x2=84 c) x1=56, x2=2030 O d) x1=56, x2=84
A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOS) of major corporations. He has good reason to believe that the mean systolic blood pressure, u, of CEOS of major corporations is less than 130 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOS of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 120 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 15 mm Hg. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test? H :0 O
Do wearable devices that monitor diet and physical activity help people lose weight? Researchers had 237 subjects who were already involved in a program of diet and exercise use wearable technology for 24 months. They measured their weight (in kilograms) before using the technology and 24 months after using the technology. The 237 differences in weight (weight after 24 months minus weight before using the wearable technology) had ?⎯⎯⎯=−3.5�¯and ?=7.8.. Let ?� be the mean weight difference. What is the test statistic? Give your answer to three decimal places. ?= Identify the correct interpretation of the results based on your analysis.Which is the correct answer ? There is very convincing evidence that there is a decrease in average weight after wearing the device. There is a small amount of evidence that there is a decrease in average weight after wearing the device. There is very convincing evidence that there is an increase in average weight…
An important measure in the study of contagious infectious diseases is the number of cases directly generated by one previous case. Jessica is an epidemiologist studying the spread of an infectious disease in her country. She claimed that the mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case is now greater than 1.2. A study of 12 randomly selected cases of the disease is conducted and finds the sample mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case to be 1.5 with a sample standard deviation of 0.7. Assume that the population of the number of cases directly generated by one previous case is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to support the claim that u, the mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case, is greater than 1.2. (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for the test.…
Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.† A mean arsenic level of μ = 8.3 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 41 tests gave a sample mean of x = 7.3 ppb arsenic, with s = 2.4 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8.3 ppb? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null hypotheses H0 and the alternate hypothesis H1 . H0 : μ ---Select--- < ≥ ≤ = > ≠ H1 : μ ---Select--- < > ≤ ≥ = ≠ (b) What sampling distribution will you use?

A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOs) of major corporations. He has good reason to believe that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is different from 132 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 124 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 20 mm Hg. Based on this information, complete the parts below. A. H0: H1: B. Suppose that the researcher decides to reject the null hypothesis. Would the research be making a type I or type II error?
