Sheila's doctor is worried that she might develop gestational diabetes during her pregnancy. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their glucose level is above 140 mg/dl one hour after consuming a sugary drink. Sheila's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution, with p = 125 mg/dl ando = 10 mg/dl. Fill in the following blanks with the correct options: (a) If a single glucose measurement is made, the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes is (0.0668, 0.1587, 0.2525, or 0.3173?). (b) Assuming that the population mean is 125 mg/dl, imagine that we repeat taking all possible samples of size 4 from the population, then only about 1.3 out of (10, 100, or 1,000?) sample means will have values as large as (125 or 140?) cm or even larger.

A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of 9 patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) was as follows: 2.5; 2.9; 3.0; 2.3; 2.3; 2.2; 2.8; 2.1; and 2.4.Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom.)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population average length of time. (i) State the confidence interval. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 44 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that o = 8.00 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.

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 of months, and adult male patient has taken 13 blood test for uric acid. The main concentration was X=5.41 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid and healthy adult meals can be assumed to be normal, with o=1.81 mg/dl. find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in the patient's blood.

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 of months, an adult male patient has taken 8 blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.35 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with σ = 1.85mg/dl.(a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood.

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 50 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.20 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.

Ria wants to know if there is a significant difference between the average monthly hair growth using Shampoo A vs Shampoo B. She recruited eight participants and compared their average monthly hair growth (in centimeters) using the two different brands. Her data is assumed to be normally distributed which produced the following values: Shampoo A 0.50 1.00 1.50 1.70 0.75 0.60 1.25 1.25 Shampoo B 1.00 1.25 2.00 2.00 1.50 1.00 1.50 1.75 Choose the appropriate test statistic and make a conclusion about the problem. Show your output below in a step-by-step manner: 21 - 22. State the null and alternative hypotheses. 23- 48. Make a decision about the null hypothesis: (23 - 26) Calculate the degree of freedom (27.)

A team of government researchers would like to determine whether a new tax on cigarettes has any effect on people’s smoking behavior. Specifically, they are expecting that by increasing the price of cigarettes, people’s will buy fewer packs of cigarettes (ultimately leading to decreases in cigarette smoking). During the year before the tax was imposed, stores located in rest areas on the state highways reported selling an average of µ = 410 packs per day. The distribution of daily sales was approximately normal. For a random sample of n = 25 days during the first year following the new tax, the researchers found an average of x̅= 380 packs per day for the same stores, with a standard deviation of s = 60. Is the sample mean sufficient to conclude that there was a significant decrease in cigarette purchases after the new tax? Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.
Researchers often rely on surveys to capture a subjective assessment of well-being. One study finds that holding everything else constant, people seem to be least happy when they are in their 40's. Another study suggests that money does buy happiness, but its effects diminishes as income rises above $75000 a year. The accompanying data file includes survey daa of 100 working adults' self-assessed happiness on a scale of ) to 100, along with their age and annual income. Estimate and interpret a regression model based on Age, Age 2 and income. Predict happiness with income equal = to $80000 and age equal to 30, 45, and 60 Years Predict happiness with Age equal = to 60 and income equal to 25,000, 75000, and 125000 Happiness Age Income 69 49 52000 83 47 123000 86 72 112000 73 52 166000 89 68 90000 81 37 152000 75 48 58000 56 48 50000 75 56 93000 57 51 27000 77 60 173000 83 55 173000 85 75 68000 82 69 157000 63 39 40000 70 66 107000 78 34 109000 53…
According to the CDC, cholesterol levels can be reduced by following a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and reducing the amount of alcohol consumed on a weekly basis. One method of monitoring overall cholesterol levels is to calculate your cholesterol ratio (LDL/HDL), in general a cholesterol ratio between 3.5 and 5.0 is considered to be healthy for most adults. Suppose you are a clinical researcher testing the effects of these lifestyle changes on patient cholesterol levels. In order to determine if following these guidelines helps to reduce overall cholesterol, a total of 18 participants (N = 18) with moderate to high cholesterol ratios (i.e., 3.91 to > 5.0) were recruited for a healthy lifestyle study and their cholesterol ratio was calculated three times over a six week period: Week 0 (baseline), Week 3, and Week 6. Using the variables "Week 0", "Week 3", and "Week 6" in the data set, conduct a One-Way, Within Subjects (AKA Repeated Measures) ANOVA, at α = 0.05, to see…
