Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 54E
Gas mileage Do cars get better gas mileage with premium instead of regular unleaded gasoline? It might be possible to test some engines in a laboratory, but we’d rather use real cars and real drivers in real day-to-day driving, so we get 20 volunteers. Design the experiment.

De
SFU
The analgesic effects of music are well known, but most of the studies have been
done with adults and most of the music has been classical. You want to know
whether children who choose their own music or audiobook to listen to after a
surgery experience less pain and whether that depends on a severity of a surgery. To
answer this question, you asked children who underwent minor and major surgeries
to listen to music or a story of their choice, or to sit with noise-cancelling
headphones for 30 minutes and then to point to a pain face that best illustrated
their level of pain.

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardI need help with this problem.arrow_forwardHow profitable are different sectors of the stock market? One way to answer such a question is to examine profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. A random sample of 32 retail stocks was studied for x1, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x1 = 13.2. A random sample of 33 utility (gas and electric) stocks was studied for x2, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x2 = 10.0. Assume ?1 = 4.2 and ?2 = 2.6. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some cases, this choice will increase the P-value by a small amount or increase the length of the confidence interval, thereby making the answer slightly more "conservative." (a) Let ?1 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks, and let ?2 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for utility stocks. Find a 95% confidence interval for ?1 − ?2.…arrow_forward
- A 2009 study shpwed that handling money reduces the perception of pain. Two groups of participants were asked to participate in a manual dexterity study. Half of the participants were given a stack of blank pieces of paper to count and the other half were given money to count. After the counting task, the participants were asked to dip their hands in 122 degree Farenheit water and rate how uncomfortable it was .

To study this, you administer to your subjects a drink that is equivalent to three 12-ounce beers, followed by the equivalent of two cups of coffee. Then your subjects complete a simulated driving task in which they must follow a fixed speed limit while driving on a straight road. Wind periodically and randomly pushes the simulated vehicle right, left, or not at all. Speed is measured in miles per hour above or below the 60-mph speed limit, with 1 mph being the smallest unit on the scale. Suppose the first subject scores 5 mph. Determine the real limits of 5. 1)The lower real limit is: 2)The upper real limit is: When measuring weight on a scale that is accurate to the nearest 0.1 pound, what are the real limits for the weight of 120 pounds? a)119.75–120.25 b)120–121 c)119.95–120.05 When measuring weight on a scale that is accurate to the nearest…arrow_forwardBreast‑feeding mothers secrete calcium into their milk. Some of the calcium may come from their bones, resulting in reduced bone mineral density. Researchers compared 47 breast‑feeding women with 22 women of similar age who were neither pregnant nor lactating. They measured the percent change in the mineral content of the women's spines over three months.arrow_forward
- You want to determine the effect of soap on bacterial colonies. In order to make sure that the environment does not affect your experiment, you divide 13 different petri dishes in half - one side is exposed to soap, the other is a control. You may use R but please show all the steps and codes involved. You measure the number of colonies that grow in each petri dish and come up with the following results: petri dish: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13soap: 10 5 7 10 19 11 13 17 19 8 11 10 16control: 20 17 11 17 26 18 21 25 24 17 17 17 21 Perform a complete hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in bacterial colonies between the soap and control dishes.arrow_forwardI am having trouble solving this problem. Can you please provide me with some help? Thank you. I appreciate it. Almonte. Inc., a maker of low-priced hair care products, claims that its hair spray lasts as long as the industry leader's higher-priced product. You take a sample of 60 applications of Almonte's hair spray and 60 applications of the leading hair spray. Results: On average, the Almonte applications held for 12.7 hours with a standard deviation of 1.4 hours. On average, the leading hair spray lasted 11.8 hours with a standard deviation of 1.8 hours. Set up a hypothesis test to test whether the difference in sample means is statistically significant. Use a significance level of 1%. Report and explain your conclusion.arrow_forwardShrubs that Withstand Fire Fire is a serious threat to shrubs in dry climates. Some shrubs can resprout from their roots after their tops are destroyed. One study of resprouting took place in a dry area of Mexico. The investigators first clipped the tops of all the shrubs in the study. For the treatment, they then applied a propane torch to the stumps of the shrubs to simulate a fire, and for the control the stumps were left alone. The study included 24 shrubs of which 12 were randomly assigned to the treatment and the remaining 12 to the control. A shrub is a success if it resprouts. For the shrub Xerospirea hartwegiana, all 12 shrubs in the control group resprouted, whereas only 8 in the treatment group resprouted. How much does burning reduce the proportion of shrubs of this species that resprout? Give the 95% plus four confidence interval for the amount by which burning reduces the proportion of shrubs of this species that resprout. The plus four method is particularly helpful…arrow_forward

After eating, the subjects were asked about how full they felt. Is this an experiment? Why or why not?arrow_forwardOur goal is to see whether the global temperatures has been getting higher.
