Chapter 11, Problem 12SE
Gas Price Intervals Use the data from exercise 11.8 and find Bonferroni-corrected intervals for all three comparisons assuming an overall confidence level of 95%, using an individual confidence level of 98.33%. Then state whether the means are significantly different based on whether the intervals capture 0 or not. Compare your conclusions with the conclusions in exercise 11.8.

People with high blood pressure suffer from hypertension. Data on fasting blood sugar (milligrams/deciliter) and magnesium (milligrams/deciliter) in blood specimens collected from 60 patients diagnosed with
hypertension were collected. The accompanying technology printout gives 90% confidence intervals for the mean fasting blood sugar (FBS) and mean magnesium level (MAG). Use this information to complete
parts a through d below.

The data in NutritionStudy include information on nutrition and health habits of a sample of 315 people. One of the variables is
VitaminUse, indicating whether a person takes a multivitamin pill regularly or occasionally or not at all. Use technology to test
whether the data provide evidence that the proportion taking a vitamin pill regularly is different from 35 % given.
Clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses.
