Question

100%

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol,

subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes

(before−after)

in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of

3.2

and a standard deviation of

16.8.

Construct a

99%

confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol?

Definition Definition Method in statistics by which an observation’s uncertainty can be quantified. The main use of interval estimating is for describing a range that is made by transforming a point estimate by determining the range of values, or interval within which the population parameter is likely to fall. This range helps in measuring its precision.

The cholesterol levels of an adult can be described by a normal model with a mean of 188mg/dL and a standard deviation of 28. What percent of adults do you expect to have cholesterol levels over 200mg/dL? What percent of adults do you expect to have cholesterol levels between 150 and160mg/dL? Estimate the interquartile range of cholesterol levels.
To determine the effects, researchers measured the LDL levels of 36 randomly selected men and 41 randomly selected women before and after spending 6-weeks on a plant-based diet. The researchers thep subtracted the two values corresponding to each individual and found the mean reduction for each group. For men, the mean reduction in LDL was 13.3 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 1.3 mg/dl. For women, the mean reduction in LDL was 15.4 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 1.9 mg/dl. Both the scatterplots for the mean LDL reduction in men and women resemble a normal distribution. We will test Ho : H1 = µ2 vs. Ha : µ1 7 Hz Compute the test statistic of interest (women- men), accurate to three digits beyond the decimal point. Answer: What is the null distribution of the test statistic? Select one: O a. AT distribution with 35 degrees of freedom. O b. AT distribution with 76 degrees of freedom. O c. AT distribution with 375 degrees of freedom. O d. AT distribution with 40 degrees of freedom.…
