Assume researchers are trying to find out the mean concentration levels of a specific drug in a population of individuals’ blood during a clinical trail. The researchers find that the sample population of 30 has a mean concentration of 6.7 mcg/mL with a standard deviation of 1.3 mcg/ mL. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean concentration level of the medication for the population’s blood and interpret it.
The amount of fight training times for student pilots at a training location has been roughly bell-shaped with mean 15 hours and standard deviation 2.5 hours. A few new instructors started training student pilots. The sample average of training times by the new instructors for 20 randomly selected students was 14 hours. The sample data didnít show any outliers or strong skewness. We want to determine if the average training time by the new instructors is less than 15 hours. Assuming that the standard deviation is still the same as the original population (that is 2.5 hours), do the following: (a) Consider the sampling distribution of sample means, x. Explain why its distibution is approximately normal, and then determine the standard deviation of x values.(b) If the mean of the population is 15 and standard deviation is 2.5, determine P( X < 14).(c) We want to conduct a suitable hypothesis at 5% level of signficance. Determine the relevant hypotheses for this test, and explain…
A psychologist is studying smokers' self-images, which she measures by the self-image (SI) score from a personality inventory. For adults in the U.S., the mean SI score from this inventory is about 150.The psychologist gathers a random sample of 15 SI scores of smokers and finds that their mean is 126 and their standard deviation is 37. Assume that the population of SI scores of smokers is normally distributed with mean μ. Based on the sample, can the psychologist conclude that μ is different from 150? Use the 0.05 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in the table below.Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. The null hypothesis: H0: The alternative hypothesis: H1: The type of test statistic: (Choose one) Z t Chisquare F The value of the test statistic:(Round to at least three decimal places.)

A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 8 fluid ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the discharge amounts in 22 randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded. The sample mean and sample standard deviation were 8.11 fluid ounces and 0.19 fluid ounces, respectively. If we assume that the discharge amounts are approximately normally distributed, is there enough evidence, to conclude that the population mean discharge, μ, differs from 8 fluid ounces? Use the 0.05 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H₁. : (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) 0 (d) Find the p-value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (e)…

Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2500 grams and a standard deviation of 800 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3000 grams and a standard deviation of 385 grams. If a 32-week gestation period baby weighs 2650 grams and a 41-week gestation period baby weighs 3150 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation period? Find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively more? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) A. The baby born in week 41 weighs relatively more since its z-score, nothing, is smaller than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 32. B. The baby born in week 32 weighs relatively more since its z-score, nothing, is smaller than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 41. C. The…
A nutritionist claims that children 13 to 15 years old are consuming less than the recommended iron intake of 20.5 mg. To test the nutritionist's claim of iron deficiency, a random sample of children 13 to 15 years old will be obtained. Assume that the data for iron intake follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4.75 mg. Find the size of the sample that you should take if you want to estimate the true mean iron intake to within 1 mg with 99% confidence. 62 149 O 150 O 61

Suppose scores on exams in statistics are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of three points. A random sample of 36 scores is taken and gives a sample mean score of 68.

A psychologist is studying smokers' self-images, which she measures by the self-image (SI) score from a personality inventory. For adults in the U.S., the mean SI score from this inventory is about 150. The psychologist gathers a random sample of 16 SI scores of smokers and finds that their mean is 130 and their standard deviation is 31. Assume that the population of SI scores of smokers is normally distributed with mean μ. Based on the sample, can the psychologist conclude that μ is different from 150?
