A regression of the LDL cholesterol level on the Body Mass Index (BMI) is shown below:LDL Cholesterol Level = 133.19 + 0.4151*BMI. Which of the following is FALSE? It is estimated that for every additional unit of BMI, the Level of LDL Cholesterol increases by about 0.4. It is estimated that for the person with zero BMI, the LDL Cholesterol Level is about 133. If one person has BMI of 20, then it is estimated that the LDL Cholesterol Level is about 141. If the LDL Cholesterol Level of one person is 145, then this equation indicates that this person’s BMI is about 30. One person’s LDL Cholesterol Level is 143 and BMI is 25. Its residual is about 5.

A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their average glucose level is above 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after a sugary drink is ingested. Rebecca's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. Rebecca's measured glucose level one hour after ingesting the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ=140+5 mg/dl and σ=5+1 mg/dl. Using the Central Limit Theorem, determine the probability of Rebecca being diagnosed with gestational diabetes if her glucose level is measured: Once? n=5+2 times n=5+4 times Comment on the relationship between the probabilities observed in (a), (b), and (c). Explain, using concepts from lecture why this occurs and what it means in context.

A photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed of the film, and believes that this can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the film to 20 mils. Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured. For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is = 1.15 and 81 = 0.11, while for the 20-mil film, the data yield 2 = 1.06 and 82 = 0.09. Note that an increase in film speed vould lower the value of the observation in microjoules per square inch. (a) Do the data support the claim that reducing the film thickness increases the mean speed of the film? Use a = 0.10 and assume that the two population variances are equal and the underlying population of film speed is normally distributed. What is the P-value for this test? Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). The data the claim that reducing the film…

An article reports measurements of the total power, on the log scale, of the heart rate variability, in the frequency range 0.003 to 0.4 Hz, for a group of 40 patients aged 25-49 years and for a group of 43 patients aged 50-75 years. The mean for the patients aged 25-49 years was 3.88 with a standard deviation of 0.23, and the mean for the patients aged 50-75 years was 3.50 with a standard deviation of 0.28. Let μx represent the population mean for the patients aged 25-49 years and let μy represent the population mean for the patients aged 50-75 years. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference μx - My. (Round the final answers to four decimal places.) The 95% confidence interval is (0.2676 0.4924 )
