In the study cited in Exercise 5.3.4, researchers found the mean sodium intake in men and women 60 years or older to be 2940 mg with a standard deviation of 1476 mg. Use these values for the mean and standard deviation of the U.S. population and find the probability that a random sample of 75 people from the population will have a mean: (d) Between2500and2900mg

A hypertensions trial is mounted and 12 participants are randomly assigned to receive either a new medication or a placebo. Each participant takes assigned medication and their systolic blood pressure (SBP) is recorded after 6 months on the assigned medication the data are shown in table 7-9 is there a difference in the mean SBP between treatment? Run the appropriate test at a =0.05
Consider the data from the Anthropology 105 class. The mean for women is 64.33 in and the standard deviation is 2.64 in. The average height of men in the US is approximately 5ft 10in. What proportion of women represented here are shorter than the average man?
A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.

Water samples are taken from water used for cooling as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water is at most 150°F, there will be no negative effects on the river's ecosystem. To investigate whether the plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150°, 50 water samples will be taken at randomly selected times and the temperature of each sample recorded. The resulting data will be used to test the hypotheses Ho: μ = 150° versus H₂: μ > 150°. In the context of this situation, describe type I error. a A type I error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is higher than the actual temperature. A type I error occurs when we say that the plant is not in compliance when in fact it is. A type I error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is lower than the actual temperature. A type I error occurs when we…

A researcher was interested in comparing the resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly and people who do not exercise regularly. Independent random samples of 16 people aged 30-40 who do not exercise regularly (sample 1) and 12 people aged 30-40 who do exercise regularly (sample 2) were selected and the resting pulse rate of each person was measured. The summary statistics are as follows: Pulse Rate data Group 1 (no exercise) Group 2 (exercise) average 72.7 69.7 standard deviation 10.9 8.2 sample size 16 12 Test the claim that the mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is greater than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly, use 0.01 as the significance level.
