Suppose that the hemoglobin levels among healthy females are normally distributed with a mean of 14.1 gdL. Research shows that exactly 95% of healthy females have a hemogoblin level of 16.1 gdL. What is the standard deviation of the distribution of hemoglobin levels and healthy females. Carry you intermediate computations to atleast four decimal places, and round your answer to at least two decimal places.
A psychologist obtains a random sample of 30 mothers in the first trimester of their pregnancy. The mothers are asked to play Mozart in the house at least 45 minutes each day until they give birth. We know that IQs are normally distributed with a mean of 100. A few years after their births the children were given an IQ test and the IQs of the 30 children in the study resulted in a sample mean of 104.2. Assume the population standard deviation for IQ of children is 15. Is there evidence that the children who listen to Mozart for at least 45 minutes each day during pregnancy have higher IQs at the 0.05 level of significance? Step 1: Define the parameter & setup the testStep 2: State the Level of SignificanceStep 3: Find the value of the Test StatisticsStep 4: Find P-Value OR Find Critical ValueStep 5: State Conclusion and why
Agricultural scientists are testing a new chicken feed to see whether it increases the number of eggs laid. The scientists divided a flock in half and gave half of the chickens the new feed, while the other half were given a regular feed. The eggs laid in a one-year period for a random sample of 10 chickens using the new feed and 10 chickens using the regular feed are recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of number of eggs laid is 12 eggs per year for both groups and that the number of eggs laid per year is normally distributed. Let the chickens given the new feed be the first sample, and let the chickens given the regular feed be the second sample. The scientists conduct a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to test if there is evidence that the new feed increases the number of eggs laid. (a) Which answer choice shows the correct null and alternative hypotheses for this test? Select the correct answer below: H0:μ1=μ2;…
Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (l.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is = 7.4.t A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 31 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.8 with sample standard deviations = 3.3. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of the blood. A USE SALT (a) What is the level of significance?

An analyst for a transportation metro is asked to examine the time required (x) in minutes for a specific commute route. She records 200 randomly sampled times and finds: Σx = 11,000 and Sxx =1791. Find the average commute time, as well as standard deviation and coefficient of variation.
Assume that a high school principal believes that high number of absences hinders the students' ability to perform on standardized tests. He randomly selects a sample of 9 students who had 5 or more absences in the school year. The average ACT Composite score for this sample is X = 19 with s = 4.9. ACT Composite scores are normally distributed with u = 21.0. Do the data support the claim that the high number of absences hinders the students' ability to perform on standardized tests, using a = .05? Please show the four-step hypothesis test. %3D
The times to pop a regular bag of microwave popcorn without burning it are Normally distributed with a mean time of 140 seconds and a standard deviation of 20 seconds. The times to pop a mini bag of microwave popcorn without burning it are Normally distributed with a mean time of 90 seconds and a standard deviation of 15 seconds. Suppose two independent random samples, 25 of each, are taken and the mean popping times are calculated. Let R = the popping time of a randomly selected regular-sized bag and M = the popping time of a mini-sized bag. Which of the following best describes the shape of the sampling distribution of ? Normal because both population distributions are Normal uniform because the both sample sizes are less than 30 skewed right because the difference in times cannot be negative skewed left because the sample sizes are less than 30 and the sampling variability is unknown
A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1458 and the standard deviation was 312. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1860, 1220, 2150, and 1340. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The z-score for 1860 is (Round to two decimal plaes as needed.)
Assume all populations are normally distributed. A travel analyst claims that the mean price of a round trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles is less than $507. In a random sample of 55 round trip flights from NYC to LA, the mean price is $502. Assume the population standard deviation is $111. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the travel analyst’s claim?
