According to the Institute of Medicine, the tolerable upper level of sodium intake for adults and adolescents is 2300 mg per day. A researcher believes that adolescents in the United States consume sodium in excess of the tolerable upper level. (a) µ represents the population mean of adolescents in the United States. (b) State the hypotheses (Ho & Ha) for a test to verify the researcher's belief. Then, state what the parameter u in your hypotheses is.

“Passive and Active Smoke” in Appendix B includes cotinine levels measured in a group of nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 60.58 ng>mL, s = 138.08 ng>mL) and a group of nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 16.35 ng>mL, s = 62.53 ng>mL). Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. 1. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the difference betwen the mean continen levels fo the two groups of nonsmokers. What confidence level would be appropriate? 2. Find the margin of error E using the formula. 3. What is the confidence interval? Explain the meaning of the confidence interal and what the limit represents.
You are conducting a study to see if the average female life expectancy is significantly different from 81. Your sample data (n=17) produce the test statistic t=-2.67. Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places.
An article published in the American Journal of Hypertension reported the results of a longitudinal study on blood pressure. Ten years ago, 51 out of 188 people evaluated were classified as having high blood pressure. This year, 63, out of 194 people evaluated were classified as having high blood pressure. Based on the results of this study, can one conclude that the proportion of people in the population with high blood pressure has increased in the last ten years? Use a = 0.05. I can't find the sign=a I hope someone will know what I am talking about.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Of 290 female registered voters surveyed, 119 indicated they were planning to vote for the incumbent president. Of 425 male registered voters, 157 indicated they were planning to vote for the incumbent president. (a) Compute the test statistic. (Use female male. Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) At a = 0.01, test to see if there is a significant difference between the population proportions of females and males who plan to vote for the incumbent president. (Use the p-value approach.) Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) p-value = What is your conclusion? O Do not reject Ho. We can conclude that there is a significant difference between the two poplation proportions. O Do not reject Ho. We cannot conclude that there is a significant difference between the two population proportions. O Reject Ho. We cannot conclude that there is a significant difference…
