Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of 7.3 ppb arsenic. It is known that o = 1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 What is the calculation (step 4) for this problem? z = -2.34 O z = 2.34 z = 2.24 z = -2.24

18.10 Anger and heart disease. A nonexperimental study looked at whether people who angered easily were more likely to develop coronary heart disease than those who angered less easily. Spielberger anger scale scores were classified into low, moderate, and high categories. Individuals were followed for up to 72 months (median follow-up time: 53 months). Table 18.9 shows cross-tabulated results for acute and fatal coronary incidents. Calculate incidence proportions for each group. Test the association for statistical significance. Report the chi-square statistic, its df, and P-value.
Measurements of zinc levels in a flowing river are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.5 ppm (due to measurement variation) and a mean 6.1 ppm. What value of zinc concentration from a river would place it in the top 66%?
A study was undertaken to determine whether there was a significant weight (in lb) loss after one year course of therapy for diabetes, and whether the amount of weight (in lb) loss was related to initial weight. The following table gives the initial weight (x) and weight after one year of therapy (y) for 16 newly diagnosed adult diabetic patients. a. Is a one-sided or two sided test needed here? b. What is the mean weight for each time period? c. What is the standard deviation for each time period? d. Which statistical test is appropriate to use on these data? e. Carry out the hypothesis test(s) in question in above d. Use α=0.01 f. Are the means statistically different? g. Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two means on weight. Interpret your finding.
After being hired as a financial advisor for a large real estate company, you have been tasked with exploring trends between home size (square ft) and property taxes to see if a relationship exists and if that trend can be applied outside of just the sample data. In the Excel Lab #5 Data File, you will find raw data on sheet 1. However, to simplify your calculations, you have only been asked to test a random sample of 10 homes. So, your first step will be to randomly select data from 10 of the homes and paste them into sheet 2 called “sample data”. This will be the data that you will analyze. (You can generate 10 random numbers between 5 and 30 however you want for your sample, but know that there is essentially no chance two students should have the same 10 samples). Within the Excel spreadsheet, use the Excel tools/functions to calculate the correlation coefficient, test statistic, and p-value. You will also use Excel to generate a scatterplot of your sample data with a linear…
3.34 Body Mass Index. Your body mass index (BMI) is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters. Many online BMI calculators allow you to enter weight in pounds and height in inches. High BMI is a common but controversial indicator of overweight or obesity. A study by the National Center for Health Statistics found that the BMI of 2-year-old American male children is approximately Normally distributed, with mean 16.8 and standard deviation 1.9.2 a. What percentage of 2-year-old American male children have a BMI less than 15.0? b. What percentage of 2-year-old American male children have a BMI less than 18.5?
Low‑density lipoprotein, or LDL, is the main source of cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries. This is why LDL is known as "bad cholesterol." LDL is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood, or mg/dL. In a population of adults at risk for cardiovascular problems, the distribution of LDL levels is normal, with a mean of 123123 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 4141 mg/dL. If an individual's LDL is at least 11 standard deviation or more above the mean, he or she will be monitored carefully by a doctor. What percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 11 or more standard deviations above the mean? Use the 6868–9595–99.799.7 rule. (Enter your exact answer as a whole number.)

Denny studied factors affecting cardiovascular reactivity to a postural change in a sample of healthy men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was determined every 30 seconds using a Dinamap device for 2 minutes, and the measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up immediately, and additional measurements were made for another 2 minutes. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Denny’s sample: Which measures of dispersion, if any, are presented in this table (Ranges, SDs)? If age is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would be younger than 50? If BMI is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would have a BMI higher than 33.1?

An observational study of teams fishing for the red spiny lobster in a certain body of water was conducted and the results published in a science magazine. One of the variables of interest was the average distance separating traps - called "trap spacing" - deployed by the same team of fishermen. Trap spacing measurements (in meters) for a sample of seven teams of fishermen are shown in the accompanying table. Of interest is the mean trap spacing for the population of red spiny lobster fishermen fishing in this body of water. Complete parts a through f below. E Click the icon to view the trap spacing data.
