Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 46 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that = 7.40 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. When finding an 99% confidence interval, what is the critical value for confidence level? (Give your answer to two decimal places.) Zc = (a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean blood plasma volume in male firefighters. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit upper limit margin of error (b) What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.) On is large a is unknown. (a is known the distribution of volumes is uniform the distribution of volumes is normal (c) Interpret your results in the context of this problem. O We are 99% confident that the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters falls within this interval. O The probability that this interval contains the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters is 0.01. O We are 1% confident that the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters falls within this interval. O The probability that this interval contains the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters is 0.99.
