The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 74.1 for a sample of size 27 and standard deviation 12.6. Estimate how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic blood pressure (using a 80% confidence level). Assume the data is from a normally distributed population. Enter your answer as a tri-linear inequality accurate to three decimal places. <µ<

Suppose that a normal distribution has a mean of 57 and a standard deviation of 10.2. Between what x values do the middle 89.75% of the data lie? Provide a screenshot of the online calculator result. Do not round off your answers.
DO NOT USE MICROSOFT EXCEL. Provide a step-by-step solution with NORMAL CURVE. Please write legibly. According to a dietary study, high sodium intake may be related to ulcers, stomach cancer, and migraine headaches. The human requirement for salt is only 220 milligrams per day, which is surpassed in most single servings of ready-to-eat cereals. If a random sample of 20 similar servings of a certain cereal has a mean sodium content of 244 milligrams and a standard deviation of 24.5 milligrams, does this suggest at the 0.05 level of significance that the average sodium content for a single serving of such cereal is greater than 220 milligrams? Assume the distribution of sodium contents to be normal.

A fitness company is building a 20-story high-rise. Architects building the high-rise know that women working for the company have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 143 lb and a standard deviation of 29 lb, and men working for the company have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 178 lb and a standard deviation or 32 lb. You need to design an elevator that will safely carry 18 people. Assuming a worst case scenario of 18 male passengers, find the maximum total allowable weight if we want a 0.995 probability that this maximum will not be exceeded when 18 males are randomly selected.maximum weight = -lb Round to the nearest pound.Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 2 decimal places are accepted The amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are normally distributed with a mean of 0.956 g and a standard deviation of 0.302 g. The company that produces these cigarettes claims that it has now reduced the amount of…
Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 43 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 7,009 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 7,009 lb / 43 =163 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 182.4 lb and a standard deviation of 38.4.
The chart to the right shows that a professor's grading distribution is bell shaped, or normally shaped. The mean of the distribution is 74 and the standard deviation is 9. Using a Continuous Variable Normal Bell Distribution Model, calculate the minimum test score needed to score in the top 5% of the class. Complete your work in the worksheet by listing the formula inputs, labels for the formula inputs and make your calculations with formulas. This test problem is similar to what you studied in video # 32, 33 and 34 and homework problems # 17, 21 and 23.

Please answer the following: You can use the graphing calculator-just explain how to input into calculator. A tire manufacturer beleives that the tread life of its snow tires can be described by a normal model with a mean of 32,000 miles and standard deviation of 2,500 miles. a) If you buy a set of these tires, would it be reasonable for you to hope that they last 40,000 miles? Explain. b) What proportion of these tires can be expected to last less than 30,000 miles? c) What proportion of these tires can be expected to last between 30,000 and 35,000 miles? d) Estimate the IQR of the tread lives. e) In planning a marketing strategy, a local tire dealer wants to offer a refund to any customer whose tires fail to last a certain number of miles. However, the dealer does not want to take too big a risk. If the dealer is willing to give refunds to no more than 1 of every 25 customers, for what mileage can he be guaranteed these tires to last?
In December 2018, the average price of regular unleaded gasoline excluding taxes in the United States was $3.06 per gallon. Assume that the standard deviation price per gallon is $0.08per gallon and use Chebyshev's Inequality to answer the following. (a) What minimum percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 4 standard deviations of the mean? (b) What minimum percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 2.5 standard deviations of the mean? What are the gasoline prices that are within 2.5 standard deviations of the mean? (c) What is the minimum percentage of gasoline stations that had prices between $2.90and $3.22?

Suppose that Melanie is a researcher who wishes to estimate the mean birthweight of full-term babies in her hospital. What is the minimum number of babies should she sample if she wishes to be at least 90% confident that the mean birthweight of the sample is within 225 grams of the the mean birthweight of all babies? Assume that the distribution of birthweights at her hospital is normal with a standard deviation of 600 g.
