Iranian researchers studied factors affecting patients' likelihood of wearing orthodontic appliances, noting that orthodontics is perhaps the area of health care with the highest need for patient cooperation (Behenam & Pooya, 2007). Among their analyses, they compared students in primary school, junior high school, and high school. The data that follow have almost exactly the same means as they found in their study, but with far smaller samples. The score for each student is his or her daily hours of wearing the orthodontic appliance. Groups MK Primary school: 16, 13, 18

Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma.+ Over a period months, an adult male patient has taken five blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.34 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with σ = 1.83 mg/dl. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit upper limit margin of error (b) What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.) Oo is unknown O uniform distribution of uric acid F σ is known O normal distribution of uric acid On is large (c) Interpret your results in the context of this problem. O The probability that this interval contains the true average uric acid level for this patient is 0.05. O The probability that…
A fraction nonconforming control chart with center line 0.20, UCL = 0.32, and LCL = 0.08 is used to control a process. Find the average run length if the process fraction nonconforming shifts to 0.40.
Shoulder height is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 56.65 inches for males and 52.5 inches for females. The males vary with a standard deviation of 2.46 inches and females at 2.49 inches. find the z-score representing a male whose shoulder height is 49 inches a standardized curve N(0,1) is shown below use this information to find an equivalent shoulder height for females and explain the relevance of this value and shading in the context of the problem
3.30 Measurements of scientific systems are always subject to variation, some more than others. There are many structures for measurement error, and statis- ticians spend a great deal of time modeling these errors. Suppose the measurement error X of a certain physical quantity is decided by the density function [k(3-x²), f(x) = 10, (a) Determine k that renders f(x) a valid density func- tion. (b) Find the probability that a random error in mea- surement is less than 1/2. −1≤x≤1, elsewhere. (c) For this particular measurement, it is undesirable if the magnitude of the error (i.e., |x|) exceeds 0.8. What is the probability that this occurs?
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, N. Ehlers measured the difference in corneal thickness (in microns) between the two eyes of eight patients. Each patient had one eye that had glaucoma and one eye that was normal. The difference was measured as the corneal thickness of normal eye – corneal thickness of eye with Glaucoma. Corneal thickness is important because it can mask an accurate reading of eye pressure. Question: If a participant has the same corneal thickness in their normal eye as the eye with Glaucoma, what would be the value for difference: measured as the corneal thickness of normal eye – corneal thickness of eye with Glaucoma.

The body weight of a healthy 3-month old colt should be about µ = test the claim that the weight of a wild Nevada colt (3-months old) is more than 60 kg. 60kg Suppose you want to State in words what a Type I Error is. State the mean weight of a wild Nevada (3-month old) colt is less than 60 Kg when in fact the mean weight of a wild Nevada colt (3-month old) is more than or equal to 60 kg. State the mean weight of a wild Nevada (3-month old) colt is more than 60 Kg when in fact the mean weight of a wild Nevada colt (3-month old) is less than or equal to 60 kg. State the mean weight of a wild Nevada (3-month old) colt is equal to 60 Kg when in fact the mean weight of a wild Nevada colt (3-month old) is not equal to 60 kg. State the mean weight of a wild Nevada (3-month old) colt is less than or equal to 60 Kg when in fact the mean weight of a wild Nevada colt (3-month old) is more than 60 kg.
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, N. Ehlers measured the difference in corneal thickness (in microns) between the two eyes of eight patients. Each patient had one eye that had glaucoma and one eye that was normal. The difference was measured as the corneal thickness of normal eye – corneal thickness of eye with Glaucoma. Corneal thickness is important because it can mask an accurate reading of eye pressure. Question:If the t statistic falls below the effect size in which we reject the null, but the p value is greater than 0.05. Do i reject the null? As my scenario had no population mean because the differences were recorded, do i set a test value of 10 or keep it at 0?

Each patient had one eye that had glaucoma and one eye that was normal. The difference was measured as the corneal thickness of normal eye – corneal thickness of eye with Glaucoma. Corneal thickness is important because it can mask an accurate reading of eye pressure. Question: Write a report summarizing your findings When writing the report consider that medical staff estimate that a difference of 4.5 microns or more could impact on their ability to interpret eye pressure correctly.
= 222 mg/dLi and Total cholesterol levels for middle aged men (aged 55 – 64) follow approximately a normal distribution with mean, µ standard deviation, o = 37 mg/dLi. Those with a total cholesterol of 240 mg/dLi or higher have "high" cholesterol (and have twice the risk of coronary heart disease as someone with a total cholesterol less than 200 mg/dLi) Find the Z-score (standard score) for an observation of 290 mg/dl.
