Refer to the data presented in Exercise 2.86. Note that there
were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group
than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest
that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident-
prone than the younger group? What other explanation might
account for the difference in accident rates?
Compute the standard scores for the values 0.49, 0.18,and 0.90. Interpret these scores. What conclusions can you make about these data values based on their standard scores

- A study examined the link between sodium intake and blood pressure inchildren and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 18. The mean systolicblood pressure (SBP) was 112.8 mm Hg among the 636 study participants whowere overweight or obese and consumed high levels of sodium. Based on thisdata the researchers need to decide if they believe that the mean systolicblood pressure for the group was higher than for other groups. a. What would be a Type I error in this context?
