Suppose that shoe sizes of American women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 8.12 and a standard deviation of 1.53 Using the empirical rule, what percentage of American women have shoe sizes that are less than 9.65? Please do not round your answer.
Suppose the mean height of women age 20 years or older in a certain country is 62.2 inches. One hundred randomly selected women in a certain city had a mean height of 61.7 inches. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean height of women in the city differs from the national mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the heights of women in the city is 3.9 inches. Set up the hypotheses for the one-mean z-test.

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women

Suppose two food preservatives are extensively tested and determined safe for use in meats. A processor wants to compare the preservatives for their effects on retarding spoilage. Suppose 16 cuts of fresh meat are treated with preservative A with mean 95.25 and Sample standard deviation 13.45. And another 12 cuts of meat are treated with preservative B with mean 100.50 and standard deviation 10.55. The number of hours until spoilage begins is recorded for each of the 28 cuts of meat. The value of the test statistic for determining if there is a difference in the population variances for preservatives A and B is equal to: A. 1.129. OB. 1.275. OC. 1.625. OD. 0.784.
