Efficient manufacturing: Efficiency experts study the processes used to manufacture items in order to make them as efficient as possible. One of the steps used to manufacture a metal clamp involves the drilling of three holes. In a sample of 65 clamps, the mean time to complete this step was 45.7 seconds. Assume that the population standard đeviation is a = 8 seconds. Part 1 Construct an 80% confidence interval for the mean time needed to complete this step. Round to one decimal place, if necessary.

Question 4 a) A medical researcher wants to investigate the amount of time it takes for patients' headache pain to be relieved after taking a new prescription painkiller. She wants to estimate the mean of the population of relief times. She believes that the population is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 25 minutes. How large a sample should she take to estimate the mean time to within 5 minutes with 95% confidence? b) An epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 320 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 40 have recently had the flu.Suppose that the epidemiologist wants to re-estimate the population proportion and wishes for her 95% confidence interval to have a margin of error no larger than 0.05. How large a sample should…
Construct a confidence interval for ud, the mean of the differences d for the population of paired data. Assume that the population of paired differences is normally distributed. If d = 3.125, Sd = 2.911, and n = 8, determine a 95 percent confidence interval for ud. 0.691 Hd <3.986 O 2.264 < d < 3.986 O 2.264 < d < 5.559 O 0.691 < d < 5.559
Chapter 5, Section 2, Exercise 043 Hearing Loss in TeenagersA recent study1 found that, of the 1771 participants aged 12 to 19 in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 19.5% had some hearing loss (defined as a loss of 15 decibels in at least one ear). This is a dramatic increase from a decade ago. The sample size is large enough to use the normal distribution, and a bootstrap distribution shows that the standard error for the proportion is SE=0.009.Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of teenagers with some hearing loss.Round your answers to two decimal places.The 95% confidence interval is to .

Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion? Only type "Reject" or Retain"
Question 7: Weight loss: In a study to determine whether counseling could help people lose weight, a sample of people experienced a group-based behavioral intervention, which involved weekly meetings with a trained interventionist for a period of six months. The following data are the numbers of pounds lost for 14 people. Assume the population is approximately normal. Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean weight loss is greater than 13 pounds.

Denny studied factors affecting cardiovascular reactivity to a postural change in a sample of healthy men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was determined every 30 seconds using a Dinamap device for 2 minutes, and the measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up immediately, and additional measurements were made for another 2 minutes. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Denny’s sample: Which measures of dispersion, if any, are presented in this table (Ranges, SDs)? If age is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would be younger than 50? If BMI is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would have a BMI higher than 33.1?
