Suppose that a report by a leading medical organization claims that the healthy human heart beats an average of 72 times per minute. Advances in science have led some researchers to question if the healthy human heart beats an entirely different amount of time, on average, per minute. They obtain pulse rate data from a sample of 85 healthy adults and find the average number of heart beats per minute to be 76, with a standard deviation of 13. Before conducting a statistical test of significance, this outcome needs to be converted to a standard score, or a test statistic. What would that test statistic be? (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place.)

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the mean life expectancy in 2015 for non‑Hispanic black females was 78.1 years. Assume that the standard deviation was 15 years, as suggested by the Bureau of Economic Research. The distribution of age at death, ?, is not normal because it is skewed to the left. Nevertheless, the distribution of the mean, x¯, in all possible samples of size ?n is approximately normal if ? is large enough, by the central limit theorem. Let x¯ be the mean life expectancy in a sample of 100 non‑Hispanic black females. Determine the interval centered at the population mean ? such that 95% of sample means x¯ will fall in the interval.

The average score of the students of a certain class in a 100-item quiz is 83 with a standard deviation of 2.5. What is the coefficient of variation?
A college student is interested in investigating the claim that students who graduate with a master’s degree earn higher salaries, on average, than those who finish with a bachelor’s degree. She surveys, at random, 49 recent graduates who completed their master’s degrees, and finds that their mean salary is $⁢37,400 per year. The standard deviation of annual salaries for the population of recent graduates who have master’s degrees is known to be $⁢2400. She also surveys, at random, 37 recent graduates who completed their bachelor’s degrees, and finds that their mean salary is $⁢36,700 per year. The standard deviation of annual salaries for the population of recent graduates with only bachelor’s degrees is known to be $⁢1900. Test the claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Let recent graduates with a master's degree be Population 1 and let recent graduates with a bachelor's degree be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Money reports that the average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog in 2017 is $1,448. The Irish Red and White Setter Association of America has requested a study to estimate the annual first-year cost for owners of this breed. A sample of 50 will be used. Based on past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with o = $245. 1,902 2,042 1,936 1,817 1,504 1,572 1,532 1,907 1,882 2,153 1,945 1,335 2,006 1,516 1,839 1,739 1,456 1,958 1,934 2,094 1,739 1,434 1,667 1,679 1,736 1,670 1,770 2,052 1,379 1,939 1,854 1,913 2,163 1,737 1,888 1,737 2,230 2,131 1,813 2,118 1,978 2,166 1,482 1,700 1,679 2,060 1,683 1,850 2,232 2,294 (a) What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval of the mean cost in dollars of the first year of owning and caring for this breed?

Chicago area doctors are concerned about their female patients' systolic blood pressure since an above average to high blood pressure can be an indicator of heart disease or other serious conditions. The average systolic blood pressure for a Chicago woman is 135mmHg , with a standard deviation of 7.5mmHg. Suppose a random sample of 100 women is selected. Identify each of the following:

Reports on a student's ACT, SAT, or MCAT usually give the percentile as well as the actual score. The percentile is the cumulative proportion stated as a percentage: the percentage of all scores that were lower than this one. In 2019, the scores on the Mathematics portion of the SAT were close to Normal, with mean 528528 and standard deviation 117. Joseph scored 411.411. What was his percentile?
Lawmakers are considering a new tax to discourage cigarette consumption and promote healthy lifestyle choices. Taxes on cigarettes prior to this new legislation tended to average $2.791 with a standard deviation of $0.331.
