In an effort to link cold environments with hypertension in humans, a preliminary experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of cold on hypertension in rats. Two random samples of 6 rats each were  exposed  to  different  environments.  One  sample  of  rats  was  held  in  a  normal environment at 26°C. The other sample was held in a cold 5°C environment. Blood pressures and heart rates were measured for rats for both groups. The blood pressures for the 12 rats are shown in the table below.   Provide a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the two population means. Do the data provide sufficient evidence that rats exposed to a 5°C environment have a higher mean blood pressure than rats exposed to a 26°C environment? Use α  = 0.05.

Question
  1. In an effort to link cold environments with hypertension in humans, a preliminary experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of cold on hypertension in rats. Two random samples of 6 rats each were  exposed  to  different  environments.  One  sample  of  rats  was  held  in  a  normal environment at 26°C. The other sample was held in a cold 5°C environment. Blood pressures and heart rates were measured for rats for both groups. The blood pressures for the 12 rats are shown in the table below.

 

  1. Provide a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the two population means.
  2. Do the data provide sufficient evidence that rats exposed to a 5°C environment have a higher mean blood pressure than rats exposed to a 26°C environment? Use α  = 0.05.
2. In an effort to link cold environments with hypertension in humans, a preliminary experiment
was conducted to investigate the effect of cold on hypertension in rats. Two random samples of 6
tats.cach were exposed to different environments. Qne sample of rats was held in a normal
environment at 26°C. The other sample was held in a cold 5°C environment. Blood pressures and
heart rates were measured for rats for both groups. The blood pressures for the 12 rats are shown
in the table below.
a. Provide a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the two population means.
b. Do the data provide sufficient evidence that rats exposed to a 5°C environment have a
higher mean blood pressure than rats exposed to a 26°C environment? Use a = 0.05.
