Vaccines have to be stored within a certain temperature range in order to stay potent. You are on an engineering team that designs temperature sensors for monitoring the conditions that the vaccines will encounter en route and at their final destination. Your newly designed smart temperature sensor must pass two tests for it to be considered competitive: (1) the standard deviation in the use of the sensors is at most 0.02 degrees, and (2) the mean lifetime of your sensors exceeds that of the current best-selling product. (1) A sample of 10 observations from your temperature sensors gave a sample standard deviation of 0.012 degrees. Is there strong evidence to indicate that the standard deviation of temperature reading is less than 0.02 degrees? State and test the relevant hypotheses at a = 0.05 by using the rejection region method. State any necessary assumptions about the underlying distribution of the data. %3D

When trying to determine how many samples are needed to perform an experiment, the desired accuracy of the results are often a determining factor. Dr. Smith has designed a new scanner capable of determining blood bilirubin levels using a cell phone. Because this is a diagnostic device, Dr. Smith is concerned not just about having small standard errors, but also having good estimates for population percentiles. If he needs to determine the 95th percentile to an accuracy of 5%, what is the number of samples needed to ensure that the percentile as determined from his data (using a t distribution) is within 5% of the percentile as calculated as if the standard deviation was taken from the entire population (using a z distribution)?
A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.
A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 22 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group and received the new experimental drug. The other 24 subjects were assigned to the control group and received a standard, well-known treatment. After a suitable period, the reduction in blood pressure for each subject was recorded. A summary of these data is: nn x¯x¯ ss Treatment group (new drug) 22 23.48 8.01 Control group (old drug) 24 18.52 7.15 Without using software, how would you estimate the number of degrees of freedom for this problem? Select one: use the larger value, 23, chosen from the two options 21 and 23 use the smaller value, 22, chosen from the two options 22 and 24 use the larger value, 24, chosen from the two options 22 and 24 use the smaller value, 21, chosen from the two options 21 and 23
A study is being conducted to compare vitamin C and zinc to determine which is better at fighting colds. Customers believe vitamin C is better at fighting colds. What are the appropriate hypotheses for this testing scenario? Let μc equal the mean of the effectiveness of vitamin C and μz equal the mean of the effectiveness of zinc.

Delta has a new jumbo jet they believe will decrease the flight time from Newark to London Heathrow. To be faster than its competitors, the mean must be less than 6 h 50 minutes (or 410 minutes). Because of costs, the agency monitoring the flight times only requires that eight trials be run. The results (in minutes) are given in the spreadsheet. If the FAA requires that the agency be 90% confident of its findings (so an alpha level of 0.10), what should the agency report? Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test using Excel. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Done in excel
You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard deviation is approximately o = 23.8. You would like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 2.5 of the true population mean. How large of a sample size is required? Do not round mid-calculation. However, you are encouraged to use a critical value accurate to three decimal places – this is important for the system to be able to give hints for incorrect answers.
A group of 10-year-old boys were first ascertained in a camp for diabetic boys. They had their weight measured at baseline and again when they returned to camp 1 year later. Each time, a serum sample was obtained from which a determination of hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) was made. HgbA1c (also called glycosylated hemoglobin) is routinely used to monitor compliance with taking insulin injections. Usually, the poorer the compliance, the higher the HgbA1c level will be. The hypothesis is that the level HgbA1c is related to weight. The data in Table 11.28 were obtained. 11.95 Compute a rank correlation between change in weight and change in HgbA1c, each over 1 year. Use this measure to directly test the hypothesis that change in weight over 1 year is related to change in HgbA1c. Report a two-tailed p-value, and provide a 95% confidence interval for the underlying rank correlation.

Your daughter is wasting my husband's money by trying to collect 6 rare photocards from a foreign album. Calculate the average number of albums she needs to buy in order to get all the 6 collectibles. Use the three trials shown below for your simulation.(Note: Treat the data vertically, and in order).
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?
Inorganic phosphorous is a naturally occurring element in all plants and animals, with concentrations increasing progressively up the food chain (fruit < vegetables < cereals < nuts < corpse). Geochemical surveys take soil samples to determine phosphorous content (in ppm, parts per million). A high phosphorous content may or may not indicate an ancient burial site, food storage site, or even a garbage dump. Independent random samples from two regions gave the following phosphorous measurements (in ppm). Assume the distribution of phosphorous is mound-shaped and symmetric for these two regions.
