Chapter 11, Problem 6P

Determine the appropriate test to be used in the next three exercises.

An archeologist is calculating the distribution of the frequency of the number of artifacts she finds in a dig site. Based on

previous digs, the archeologist creates an expected distribution broken down by grid sections in the dig site. Once the site

has been fully excavated, she compares the actual number of artifacts found in each grid section to see if her expectation

was accurate.

High Cholesterol: A group of eight individuals with high cholesterol levels were given a new drug that was designed to lower cholesterol levels. Cholesterol levels, in milligrams per deciliter, were measured before and after treatment for each individual, with the following results: Individual Before 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 237 282 278 297 243 228 298 269 After 200 208 178 212 174 201 189 185 Part: 0/2 Part 1 of 2 (a) Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the mean reduction in cholesterol level. Let a represent the cholesterol level before treatment minus the cholesterol level after. Use tables to find the critical value and round the answers to at least one decimal place.

I worked out the answers for most of this, and provided the answers in the tables that follow. But for the total cost table, I need help working out the values for 10%, 11%, and 12%. A pharmaceutical company produces the drug NasaMist from four chemicals. Today, the company must produce 1000 pounds of the drug. The three active ingredients in NasaMist are A, B, and C. By weight, at least 8% of NasaMist must consist of A, at least 4% of B, and at least 2% of C. The cost per pound of each chemical and the amount of each active ingredient in one pound of each chemical are given in the data at the bottom. It is necessary that at least 100 pounds of chemical 2 and at least 450 pounds of chemical 3 be used. a. Determine the cheapest way of producing today’s batch of NasaMist. If needed, round your answers to one decimal digit. Production plan Weight (lbs) Chemical 1 257.1 Chemical 2 100 Chemical 3 450 Chemical 4 192.9 b. Use SolverTable to see how much the percentage of…
