The shelf life of a particular dairy product is normally distributed with a mean of 12 days and a standard deviation of 3 days. According to the Empirical Rule, about what percent of the products last between 0 and 3 days?
One of the measurements used to determine the health of a person's lungs is the amount of air a person can exhale under force in one second. This is called forced expiratory volume in one second, and is abbreviated FEV,. Assume the mean FEV, for 10-year-old boys is 2.1 liters that the population standard deviation is o =0.2. A random sample of 53 10-year-old boys live in a community with high levels of ozone pollution are found to have a sample mean FEV, of 2.09 liters. Can you conclude that the mean FEV, in the high-pollution community differs from 2.1 liters? (A) Yes (B) No
A nutritionist claims that children 13 to 15 years old are consuming less than the recommended iron intake of 20.5 mg. To test the nutritionist's claim of iron deficiency, a random sample of children 13 to 15 years old will be obtained. Assume that the data for iron intake follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4.75 mg. Find the size of the sample that you should take if you want to estimate the true mean iron intake to within 1 mg with 99% confidence. 62 149 O 150 O 61
Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in Irish-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. The researcher recruits 30 Irish-Americans into this particular study and then measures each of their diastolic blood pressures (mmHG). The population of this sample has a standard deviation equal to 3.0. What is the two-sided alternative hypothesis? (in words) Group of answer choices The mean is different than 70 The mean is different than 73 The mean is greater than 70 The mean is greater than 73

Assume that weights of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 77 kg and a standard deviation of 22 kg. What percentage of individual adult females have weights between 71 kg and 83 kg? If samples of 100 adult females are randomly selected and the mean weight is computed for each sample, what percentage of the sample means are between 71 kg and 83 kg?
From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of the age when smokers first start to smoke remains constant at around 2.1 years. The American Lung Association claims that the mean age when smokers first start to smoke is at least 17. A survey of 40 randomly selected smokers of this generation was done and it was found that the mean age when smokers first started to smoke was 18.1. Is there enough evidence to reject the claim? Describe what a Type I error is for this situation. Describe what a Type II error is for this situation.
An electronic device is claimed to remain alive under water on average for 26 minutes (assume under-water lifetimes are approximately Normal). A random sample of 25 devices were tested and found to be alive on average for 23.6 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 4 minutes.

The ages of a group of 138 randomly selected adult females have a standard deviation of 17.5 years. Assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population, so leto= 17.5 years for the sample size calculation. How many female statistics student ages must be obtained in order to estimate the mean age of all female statistics students? Assume that we want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within one-half year of the population mean. Does it seem reasonable to assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population? The required sample size is (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)
