In a study of carbohydrate diet, an investigator wishes to test a hypothesis test for whether the population mean of cholesterol level among individuals taking medium carbohydrate diet for 4 months is different than 7.8 mmol/L A simple random sample (SRS) of 30 study participants is conducted. Subjects are randomized to receive medium carbohydrate diet for 4 months. The total cholesterol level at the time of entering the study had an average of 5.20 mmol/L and standard deviation of 1.3 mmol/L Calculate a 95% confidence interval (show your work) for the population mean of total cholesterol levels among those taking medium carbohydrate diet and use the confidence interval to draw a conclusion as to whether there is a difference in cholesterol levels. Choose the correct statement. O (4.7492. 5.6508) Do not reject HO since valuc of null hypothesis, 5.20 doces fall in this range. O (4.8216. 5.5783) Reject H0 since value of null hypothesis 78 does not fall in this range. O 14.7492. 5.6508) Reject HO since value of nul hypothesis. 7.8 does not tall in this range. None of the choices are correct.

Blood cocaine concentration (mg/L) was determinedboth for a sample of individuals who had died fromcocaine-induced excited delirium (ED) and for a sampleof those who had died from a cocaine overdose withoutexcited delirium; survival time for people in bothgroups was at most 6 hours. The accompanying datawas read from a comparative boxplot in the article“Fatal Excited Delirium Following Cocaine Use” (J.of Forensic Sciences, 1997: 25–31).

A survey recently reported that the mean national annual expenditure for inpatient andoutpatient services of all persons over 64 years of age was $5,423 with a standarddeviation of $979. A random sample of 352 persons over age 64 living in Sudbury had anaverage expense of $5,516. We want to test whether the mean inpatient and outpatient expense of all Sudbury residents over age 64 is higher than the national average of $5,423. Calculate the P-value for this test.
Efforts by airlines to improve on-time arrival rates are showing results. Boston.com reports that in the first 10 months of 2012 on-time arrival rates at U.S. airports were the highest they have been since 2003. During this period 82% of flights landed within 15 minutes of their scheduled time. Are there differences among the major airlines? The data in Sheet 35 show the number of on-time arrivals for samples of flight taken from seven major U.S. airlines in 2012. Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is the p-value and what is your conclusion?

The table below refers to a case control study on the association between sulfones and streptomycin drugs in the treatment of leprosy. Subjects were sampled based on their clinical change to treatment and then asked whether they had a high or low degree of infiltration. The degree of infiltration measures a type of skin damage. We will use clinical change response scores {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3}. The question of interest is whether degree of infiltration is associated with clinical change. (a) Compute the sample proportions of having a high degree of infiltration for each clinical change group? What type of variable is Clinical Change? (B)Conduct a Cochran-Armitage trend test at the 5% significance level to determine whether there is an association between degree of infiltration and clinical change. (C)Now, ignore the fact that clinical change is an ordinal variable. Conduct a chi-squared test for association between degree of infiltration and clinical change at the 5% significance…
The yield of alfalfa from a random sample of six test plots is 1.4, 1.6, 0.9, 1.9, 2.2,and 1.2 tons per acre. Assume the data can be looked upon as a sample from anormal population. Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether this supports thecontention that the average yield for this kind of alfalfa is 1.5 tones per acre.
Arsenic is a compound that occurs naturally in very low concentrations. Arsenic blood concentrations in healthy individuals are Normally distributed with a mean of 3.2 mg/dl. Some areas of the United States have naturally elevated arsenic levels in the ground and water supplies. Researchers took a sample 20 water samples from a particular area and measured the arsenic levels in each of the 20 water samples. They want to determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the arsenic level in that area is higher than 3.2 mg/dl. hypothesis test for one population mean (unknown population standard deviation) confidence interval estimate for one population mean (unknown population standard deviation) hypothesis test for population mean from paired differences confidence interval estimate for population mean from paired differences hypothesis test for difference in population means from two independent samples confidence interval estimate for difference in population means from two…
A study was undertaken to compare the average high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels of normal and obese adults in a certain community. HDL levels of a random sample of adults from this community were measured (in milligrams per deciliter or mg/dL) and presented below. Assume that the HDL levels of both the normal and obese adults follow the normal distribution with unknown but equal population variances. Is there a significant difference between the average HDL levels of normal and obese adults? Use a 5% level of significance.
Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of = 7.3ppb arsenic. It is known that o = 1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 What is the Decision (step 5) for this problem? There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 7.3 ppb. O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. O There is…
The 5-year incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in relation to smoking status was determined in a population sample of 1000 men, 18 years and older. At baseline, 30% of the men were classified as being current smokers and 70% as being non-smokers. At the end of the follow-up, 60 CVD events had occurred among the smokers and 70 events among the non-smokers. Construct a 2 x 2 table based on the data provided
A study used x-ray computed tomography (CT) to collect data on brain volumes for a group of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorders and a control group of healthy persons. Sample results (in mL) are given below for total brain volumes. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that there is no difference between the mean for obsessive-compulsive patients and the mean for healthy persons. Obsessive-compulsive patients: n = 10, x overbar equals 1390.03 , s = 156.84 Control group: n = 10, x overbar equals 1275.94 , s = 137.97 a.
