The hemoglobin count (HC) in grams per 100 milliliters of whole blood is approximately normally distributed with population mean 14 for healthy adult women. Suppose a female patient has had 19 laboratory blood tests during the past year. Her average HC is 12.36 with s = 1.11. Is there evidence that her average HC is not 14? (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type "mu" for the symbol u , e.g. mu> 1 for the mean is greater than 1, mu < 1 for the mean is less than 1, mu not = 1 for the mean is not equal to 1) Но : На: (b) Find the standardized test statistic, t = (c) Answer the question: Is there evidence that her average HC is not 14?

Vanadium has recently been recognized as an important trace element. An experiment was conducted to compare the concentrations of vanadium in different foods. The amount of vanadium, measured in nanograms per gram, was recorded for 8 samples of each of the following foods: green beans, tuna, and soy milk. The output from an ANOVA is shown below: State the null and alternative hypotheses to carry out ANOVA with these data. a) H0: Food products and level of vanadium are relatedHa: Food products and vanadium are not related b) H0: Food products and level of vanadium are not relatedHa: Food products and level of vanadium are related c) H0: There is a difference in the mean level of vanadium among the three food productsHa: There is no difference in the mean level of vanadium among the three food products d) H0: There is no difference in the mean level of vanadium among the three food productsHa: There is a difference in the mean level of vanadium among the three food…
In their advertisements, a new diet program would like to claim that their methods result in a mean weight loss of more than ten pounds in two weeks. In order to determine if this is a valid claim, they hire an independent testing agency that then selects twenty-five people to be placed on this diet. Which of the following is the correct hypotheses? a Ho: μ- 10 Ha: μ > 10 Ho: u > 10 Ha: u = 10 Ho: U = 10 Ha: u < 10 O d Ho: p = 10 Ha: u+ 10
For a population with a mean of ? = 80 and a standard deviation of ? = 12, a score of X = 77 corresponds to z = −0.50. True or false?
The boiling point of 16 samples of a certain brand of hydrogenated vegetable oil used in a fryer was collected, resulting in Xbar=152.1 degrees. Assume that the distribution of melting point is normal with o=3.20. If the boiling point is different than 150 degrees, then either the oil will be too hot and will burn food or it will be too cool and will not properly cook the food. Is the sample mean significantly different from the target of 150 degrees? Use alpha=0.01 Но: H1: Define critical (rejection) region(s): Calculate the appropriate test statistic: What decision do we make? What this decision means in terms of this problem?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) offers a wide variety of “standard reference materials” (SRMs) with accurately specified analyte concentrations. SRM 1951c is intended in part for “evaluating the accuracy of clinical procedures for the determination of total cholesterol . . . in human serum.” The certified total cholesterol is 6.244 ± 0.072 mmol/L. For the sake of this question, let’s treat 6.244 mmol/L as its “true” value (μ). We will use this standard to test a method with an intrinsic variability (for an experienced analyst) of σ = 0.131 mmol/L. 1. For what value of z does exactly 95% of the area under a Gaussian curve lie between ± z? Use this multiplier to find the range of measured cholesterol concentrations that would include 95% of the trials from the “parent population” (μ and σ) given above. 2. Calculate z for a trial in which the measured total cholesterol concentration is 6.302 mmol/L. 3. What is the probability that a trial will give a cholesterol…
Assume that ρxy = .30 between weight and exercise for the population of normal adults. However, a researcher believes the relationship is stronger for children. The researcher tests a sample of 28 children and obtains an rxy = .47. Does this result support the researcher’s belief? Conduct an appropriate statistical test using an alpha level of .05.
Thirteen different video games showing drug use were observed. The duration times of drug use (in seconds) were recorded. When using this sample for a t test of the claim that the population mean is greater than 78 sec, what does df denote, and what is its value?
A study is conducted to determine factors in solving missing persons cases. The outcome is Y; which is equal to 1 if the i-th missing person case is unsolved and 0 if it is solved. Let covariate X1; be an indicator equal to 1 if the i-th case is female and 0 for male. Let X2i be a categorical covariate of age group for the i-th case. Categories are less than 14 years old (base level/group), between 14 and 19 years old, and older than 19 years. Set u = P(Y = 1) and the following model is fit: logit(u) = Bo + BịI(Female) + B2I(14 to 19 yrs old) + B3I(> 19 yrs old) The output from the model is below: Estimate S.E. p-value Bo -4.565 0.128 0.380 0.087 B2 Вз -0.198 0.042 0.163 1.128 0.133 a. Using the logistic regression output, calculate the estimated odds ratio of a case being unsolved (again Y=1 is unsolved and Y=0 is solved) comparing females to males (female is the numerator odds) of the same age. Interpret this odds ratio in context of the problem. iii b. Create a 95% confidence…
The level of calcium in the blood of healthy young adults follows a normal distribution with mean u = 10 milligrams per deciliter and standard deviation s = 0.4. A clinic measures the blood calcium of 100 healthy pregnant young women at their first visit for prenatal care. The sample mean of these 100 measurements is X = 9.8. Is this evidence that the mean calcium level in the population from which these women come is less than 10? To answer this question, we perform the following hypothesis test: H0: u = 10, Ha: u < 10. What is the test statistic? (use two decimal places in your answer) What is the p-value equal to? At the 10% significance level, do you accept or reject the null hypothesis? Answer ACCEPT or REJECT t the 5% significance level, do you accept or reject the null hypothesis? Answer ACCEPT or REJECT

The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.
