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?

You find a coin in the street and are flipping it while walking away. You happen to look at the outcomes of your coin flips and notice heads is showing up more than you think it should. After 10 flips, the coin has landed on heads 8 of the 10 flips. Deciding you need more data, you flip the coin 25 more times and it lands heads up 18 times. You have now flipped the coin 35 times, 26 of which have landed heads. You are still surprised of these results, so you decide to flip the coin 100 more times and record the data. This time, the coin landed heads up 75 times. Now, you flip your coin 135 times, and it lands heads up 101 times. Are you convinced that the coin you have found is weighted, meaning that it favors one outcome over the other? Why? What is the name of the property of probability shown in the previous example? (continuous probability, discrete probability, law of averages, law of large numbers)
The following test scores are for two classes that took the same test. (The highest possible score on the test was 60.) Class 1 (24 scores): 37, 45, 52, 55, 11, 55, 44, 55, 35, 25, 52, 42, 35, 21, 42, 52, 41, 40, 34, 51, 41, 41, 41, 41 Class 2 (25 scores): 50, 40, 40, 23, 40, 50, 31, 31, 40, 31, 31, 31, 53, 33, 33, 35, 55, 24, 39, 40, 41, 59, 41, 39, 46 Form a back-to-back stem and leaf plot with one stem. Put the leaves for one class on the right side of the stem and the leaves for the other class on the left side. Record the leaves in increasing order from the stem.

Researchers studied the behavior of birds that were searching for seeds and insects in an Oregon forest. In this forest, 54% of the trees were Douglas firs, 40% were ponderosa pines, and 6% were other types of trees. At a randomly selected time during the day, the researchers observed 156 red-breasted nuthatches: 70 were in Douglas firs, 79 in ponderosa pines, and 7 in other types of trees. Do these data provide convincing evidence that nuthatches prefer particular types of trees when they’re searching for seeds and insects?
2. In a population it is estimated that 20% have a desired trait of interest for the researcher. The researcher wants to know how many people on average he has to draw from a population to get 2 people with the trait. Use rows 20-24 of the Random Number Table to carry out the simulation. Explain clearly how you set up the problem and report your findings. Answer:
Twenty university students chosen at random from students enrolled at Carthage College took part in an experiment testing the effect of watching ABC News versus CNN on knowledge of world events. The 20 participants were divided randomly into two equal groups of 10 students each. One group was assigned to watch ABC and the other was assigned to watch CNN. Participants then watched their assigned station (ABC or CNN) for 3 hours a night for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 week period they were administered a test of world knowledge. The results were as follows: XbarABC = 104; sABC = 12 XbarCNN = 99; sCNN = 10 Compute the 95% confidence interval around the difference between the two groups.
You are hiking through the woods, and come across some tracks; based on your expe- rience, you estimate there is a 40% chance the tracks are from a dog, a 30% chance the tracks are from a wolf, a 20% chance the tracks are from a coyote, and a 10% chance the tracks are from some other animal. Your friend, also a nature lover, notices some white hairs in the tracks. They know that 20% of dogs have white hair, 50% of wolves have white hair, 10% of coyotes have white hair, and 30% of other animals in the area have white hair. What are the odds of these tracks coming from a dog, wolf, coyote, or other animal?

The school district sets up two locations to help students with technical difficulties over the summer. They believe the technicians they have assigned to location 2 are being lazy and not helping students as much as they should be so they take a random sample of 15 students from each of the two locations and ask if their technical issue had been resolved (over 200 students had asked for assistance at each location). Twelve of the 15 students from location 1 reported their technical issue had been resolved and 8 of the 15 students from location 2 reported their technical issue had been resolved. Is this convincing evidence that the technicians from location 2 are being lazy and not helping students as much as those from location 1?
Itranscript One male and one female dam rat pup were randomly selected from 8 litters to perform the swim maze. Each pup was placed in the water at one end of the maze and allowed to swim until it escaped at the opposite end. If the pup failed to escape after a certain period of time, it was placed at the beginning of the maze and given another chance. The experiment was repeated until each pup accomplished three successful escapes. The table to the right reports the number of swims required by each pup. Is there sufficient evidence of a difference between the mean number of swims required by male and female pups? Use a=0.01. Comment on the assumptions required for the test to be valid.

The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) contains three areas: critical reading, mathematics, and writing. Each area is scored on an 800-point scale. A sample of SAT scores for six students follows.

(b) Which area of the test seems to give the students the most trouble? Explain.
