The most common test for osteoporosis (low bone density) is a bone density scan by a DEXA test (dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry). The bone density of a population is normally distributed. A woman has the test and finds that she has a bone density of 932 grams per square centimeter, which puts her at a density where approximately 12% of the population has bone density less than hers. In the population of women her age, the mean bone density is 956 grams per square centimeter. What is the standard deviation for the bone density? 22.

Deep mixing is a ground improvement method developed for soft soils like clay, silt, and peat. Civil engineers investigated the properties of soil improved by deep mixing with lime-cement columns. The mixed soil was tested by advancing a cylindrical rod with a cone tip down into the soil. During penetration, the cone penetrometer measures the cone tip resistance (megapascals, MPa). The researchers established that tip resistance for the deep mixed soil followed a normal distribution with u = 1.7 MPa and a = 1.1 MPa. Complete parts a through c. a. Find the probability that the tip resistance will fall between 1.3 and 4.0 MPa. P(1.3sxs4.0) = 0.6236 (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. Find the probability that the tip resistance will exceed 1.0 MPa. P(x> 1) =D (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Researchers wanted to determine if carpeted rooms contained more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms. To determine the amount of bacteria in a room, researchers pumped the air from the room over a Petri dish at the rate of 1 cubic foot per minute for eight carpeted rooms and eight uncarpeted rooms. Colonies of bacteria were allowed to form in the 16 Petri dishes. The results are given in the table below. Assume the distribution to be approximately normal. Do carpeted rooms have more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms?

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Find the probability that a given score is less than negative 0.55 and draw a sketch of the region.
Test the hypothesis that the average content of containers of a particular lubricant is 10 L if the contents of a random sample of 10 containers are 10.2, 9.7, 10.1, 10.3, 10.1, 9.8, 9.9, 10.4, 10.3, and 9.8 liters. Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume the distribution of contents is normal.
15. Does learning a second language change brain structure? Mechelli et al. (2004) tested 22 native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language. Proficiencies in reading, writ- ing, and speech were assessed using a number of tests whose results were summarized by a profi- ciency score. Gray-matter density was measured in the left inferior parietal region of the brain using a neuroimaging technique, as mm³ of gray matter per voxel. (A voxel is a picture element, or "pixel," in three dimensions.) The data are listed in the accompanying table. a. Display the association between the two variables in a scatter plot. b. Calculate the correlation between second language proficiency and gray-matter density. c. Test the null hypothesis of zero correlation. d. What are your assumptions in part (c)? e. Does the scatter plot support these assump- tions? Explain. Proficiency score for Gray-matter second density language (mm³/voxel) 0.26 0.44 0.89 1.26 1.69 1.97 1.98 2.24 2.24 2.58…
