Withdrawal symptoms may occur when a person using a painkiller suddenly stops using it. For a special type of painkiller, withdrawal symptoms occur in 5% of the cases. Consider a random sample of 1900 people who have stopped using the painkiller. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of people in the sample who experience withdrawal symptoms. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(p <0.04), which is the probability that fewer than 4% of those sampled experience withdrawal symptoms. Round your answer to four decimal places.
According to the empirical rule (or the 68-95- 99.7 rule), if a population has a normal distribu- tion, approximately what percentage of values is within one standard deviation of the mean?
Diabetes Plasma-glucose levels are used to determine the presence of diabetes. Suppose the mean In(plasma-glucose) concentration (mg/dL) in 35- to 44-year-olds is 4.86 with standard deviation = 0.64. A study of 100 sedentary people in this age group is planned to test whether they have a higher or lower level of plasma glucose than the general population. USE SALT (a) If the expected difference is 0.10 In units, then what is the power of such a study if a two-sided test is to be used with a = 0.05? 0.0500 (b) Answer (a) if the expected difference is 0.20 In units. 0.496 (c) How many people would need to be studied to have 80% power under the assumptions in (a)? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) x 398
(b) An intelligence test has been given to the primary school students for several years and it is assumed that the scores are normally distributed with an average of 85. A group of 50 primary school students obtained a mean grade of 84 and a standard deviation of 5 in the test this year. Is this batch students inferior in intelligence to the past years' primary school students using 2% level of significance?
Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 24 days and a standard deviation of 6 days. 80% of all trials of this type are completed within how many days?
The grade point average for ALL juniors at a large college has a standard deviation of 0.50. A random sample of 20 students is to be used to estimate the population mean grade point average. What condition do you need to verify prior to computing the probability of obtaining a sample mean within plus or minus 0.2 of the population mean?
(b) A mileage test is conducted for a new car model, the "HERO". In previous test, the population mean is 27 miles per gallon (mpg). Twenty-eight random selected Heros are driven for a month and the mileage is carefully measured in each. The mean mileage for the sample is =28.6mpg and the sample standard deviation is s = 2.2 mpg. Assuming 1-distribution is followed, answer the following questions. Hypothesis are given as follows: (i) H₁:μ=27 H: μ = 27 Find the degree of freedom of the test. By using 10% level of significance, find the critical value and show the rejection area. (iii) Calculate the test statistic, 1, to test the Ho. (iv) Determine whether you reject Ho. State your reason and conclusion. li
In a study on the physical activity of young adults, pediatric researchers measured overall physical activity as the total number of registered movements (counts) over a period of time and then computed the number of counts per minute (cpm) for each subject. The study revealed that the overall physical activity of obese young adults has a mean of μ = 325 cpm and a standard deviation of a = 90 cpm. In a random sample of n = 100 obese young adults, consider the sample mean counts per minute, x. Click the icon to view the table of normal curve areas. a. Describe the sampling distribution of x.
