At the beginning of a study on the effect of calcium in the diet on blood pressure, researchers measured the seated systolic blood pressure of 27 healthy white males. The paper reporting the study gives š = 114.9 and s = 9.3. (a) Construct a 98% confidence interval: (i) Draw the density curve of x and mark the middle area. (ii) Draw the density curve of t and mark the middle area. (iii) We are % confident that the population mean is between to

A magazine examined top-loading and front-loading washing machines, testing samples of several different brands of each type. One of the variables the magazine reported was “cycle time,” the number of minutes it took each machine to wash a load of clothes. The 98% confidence interval for the difference in mean cycle time (μtop − μfront) is (−40, −22). The endpoints of this confidence interval are negative numbers. What does that indicate? We can use the confidence interval from (a) to test the hypotheses below. H0: μtop − μfront = 0 HA :μtop − μfront ≠ 0 What’s the corresponding alpha level for this test? What do you conclude?
A new drug to treat high cholesterol is being tested by pharmaceutical company. The cholesterol levels for 8 patients were recorded before administering the drug and after. The mean difference in total cholesterol levels (after - before) was 15.91 mg/dL with a standard deviation of 15.2714 mg/dL. Create a 95% confidence interval for the true average difference in cholesterol levels by the drug.

Data indicates that adolescent girls tend to experience a drop in self-esteem. To evaluate this result, a researcher obtains a sample of N = 36 adolescent girls, all 13 years old. A self-esteem measure is administered to each participant and the average score for the sample is X =68. It is known that the distribution of self-esteem scores for the population of pre-teen girls is normal with mean 80 and standard deviation 10. (a) Compute a 95% confidence interval for µ, the population mean self-esteem score for adolescent girls. (b) Compute Cohen’s d to estimate the size of the described effect. (c) Perform a hypothesis test to decide whether the mean self-esteem score for adolescent girls is significantly different from the mean self-esteem score for pre-teen girls. (d) Compute and interpret a Bayes factor for the model (either H0 or H1) with the best predictive adequacy. (e) Compute and interpret the posterior model probability for the winning model chosen in part (d).
Question 5 A common claim is that garlic lowers cholesterol levels. In a test of the effectiveness of garlic, 45 subjects were treated with doses of raw garlic, and their cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/mL) have a mean of 4.94 mg/mL and a standard deviation of 18.51 mg/mL. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. i.

One method for measuring air pollution is to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide, or CO, in the air. Suppose Nina, an environmental scientist, wishes to estimate the CO concentration in Zagreb, Croatia. She randomly selects 45 locations throughout the city measures the CO concentration at each location. Based on her 45 samples, she computes the margin of error for a 95% t-confidence interval for the mean concentration of CO in Zagreb, in µg/m³, to be 4.28. What would happen to the margin of error if Nina decreases the confidence level to 90%? Nina increases the confidence level to 99%? Nina decreases the sample size to 33 locations? Nina increases the sample size to 65 locations? Answer Bank Increase Stay the same Decrease

you conducted additional studies with these men and found the following: a. The RR for those who drank one drink per day was 1.50 (95% CI:1.32-1.67) in comparison to the abstainers. b. For those men who drank three or more drinks per day the RR compared to the abstainers was 4.20 (95% CI 2.68-5.85). Question: We can tell from the Confidence Intervals provided in #7 whether there are likely more people in the “one drink a day” group or the “3+ drinks per day” group. Which one likely has more people and how can we tell?
