Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important in medical research. For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume mean is about ? = 28 ml/kg.† Red blood cell volume that is too low or too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose that Roger has had seven blood tests, and the red blood cell volumes were as follows. 34 23 40 37 28 38 29 The sample mean is x = 32.714 ml/kg. Let x be a random variable that represents Roger's red blood cell volume. Assume that x has a normal distribution and ? = 4.75. Do the data indicate that Roger's red blood cell volume is different from ? = 28 ml/kg? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternate hypothesis H1 . H0 : ? H1 : ? What kind of test is this? left-tailed testtwo-tailed test right-tailed test (b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution. The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known ?.The Student's t, since n is small with unknown ?. Compute the sample test statistic based on your choice of the distribution. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.Graph!!! Will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ?? At the ? = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the ? = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. At the ? = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the ? = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that Roger's average red cell volume differs from the average for healthy adults.There is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that Roger's average red cell volume differs from the average for healthy adults.
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
