Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
Suppose a study uses independent groups and has 38 individuals in one group and 34 individuals in a second group. In comparing the means with a t test, how many degrees of freedom (df) would you have?
In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 312 trials, the touch therapists were correct 151 times. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses? (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Using Emily's sample results, what is the best point estimate of the therapists' success rate? (Round to three decimal places as needed.) c. Using Emily's sample results, construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.
Suppose we want to compare the GPA for students in at least three different social classes (Upper, Middle, Working). We obtain GPA records for a randomly selected set of 30 students, ten from each social class group. What test should you use and why?
8. A student runs an experiment to test how microwave power and temperature affect popping. Each bag of popcorn can be popped for 3 minutes or 4 minutes. The microwave power can be set to low, medium and high. Each combination of time and power is tested on one bag of popcorn and the number of unpopped kernels is recorded. The number of treatments in this experiment are: • 12 • 6 • 4
THE MANAGER OF A SERVICE STATION IS IN THE PROCESS OF ANALYZING THE NUMBER OF TIMES CAR OWNERS CHANGE THE OIL IN THEIR CARS. SHE BELIEVES THAT THE AVERAGE MOTORIST CHANGES HIS OR HER CAR'S OIL LESS FREQUENTLY THAN RECOMMENDED BY THE OWNER'S MANUAL (TWO TIMES PER YEAR). IN A PRELIMINARY SURVEY SHE ASKED 14 CAR OWNERS HOW MANY TIMES THEY CHANGED THEIR CARS' OIL IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. THE RESULTS ARE 1, 1, 2, 0, 3, 3,0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, AND 1. 2.1 Does this data provide sufficient evidence at the 10% significance level to indicate that the manager is correct? 2.2 Ho: H₁: Rejection region: Test statistic: Decision: Conclusion: What condition is required in order to analyze this data using a t-test?
An anger-management course claims that, after completing its seminar, participants will lose their tempers less often. Always a skeptic, you decide to test this claim. A random sample of 12 seminar participants is chosen, and these participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the two weeks prior to the course. After the course is over, the same participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the next two weeks. The following table lists the results of the survey. Using these data, test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let participants before completing the anger-management course be Population 1 and let participants after completing the anger-management course be Population 2.

There are 9 million enrollees in the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. It wants doctors and nurses to treat pain as a “fifth vital sign” to be recorded along with blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and breathing rate. If you were to aid the VA in this situation, how would you measure a patient’s pain? How could this “fifth vital sign” be a potentially invalid measure? Answer each question with at least one paragraph of three complete sentences.
An interdepartmental task force is being formed to investigate an increase in violent crimes. 1/5 of the task force will be police officers from the local precinct. 1/4 will be ATF agents, and the remaining 22 will be from the FBI. How many people are participating in the task force?
In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 307 trials, the touch therapists were correct 143 times. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses? 0.5 (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Using Emily's sample results, what is the best point estimate of the therapists' success rate? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Some people seem to believe that you can fix anything with duct tape. Even so, many were skeptical when researchers announced that duct tape may be a more effective and less painful alternative than liquid nitrogen, which doctors routinely use to freeze warts. An article described a study conducted at a medical center. Patients with warts were randomly assigned to either the duct tape treatment or the more traditional freezing treatment. Those in the duct tape group wore duct tape over the wart for 6 days, then removed the tape, soaked the area in water, and used an emery board to scrape the area. This process was repeated for a maximum of 2 months or until the wart was gone. Data consistent with values in the article are summarized in the following table. Number with Wart Treatment Successfully Removed Liquid nitrogen freezing 103 60 Duct Tape 100 88 A USE SALT Do these data suggest that freezing is less successful than duct tape in removing warts? Test the relevant hypotheses using a…
