Dosage Calculations. In Exercises 21–26, use the data in the accompanying table, which lists the numbers of correct and wrong dosage amounts calculated by physicians. In a research experiment, one group of physicians was given bottles of epinephrine labeled with a concentration of “1 milligram in 1 milliliter solution,” and another group of physicians was given bottles labeled with a ratio of “1 milliliter of a 1:1000 rotation.” The two labels describe the exact same amount, and the physicians were instructed to administer 0.12 milligrams of epinephrine. The results were reported in The New York Times.
| Correct Dosage Calculation | Wrong Dosage Calculation | |
| Concentration Label (“1 milligram in 1 milliliter solution”) |

A neighborhood is trying to set up school carpools, but they need to determine the number of students who need to travel to the elementary school (ages 5–10), the middle school (ages 11–13), and the high school (ages 14–18). A histogram summarizes their findings:
Histogram titled Carpool, with Number of Children on the y axis and Age Groups on the x axis. Bar 1 is 5 to 10 years old and has a value of 3. Bar 2 is 11 to 13 years old and has a value of 7. Bar 3 is 14 to 18 years old and has a value of 4.
Which of the following data sets is represented in the histogram?
A. {3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 4, 4, 4, 4}
B. {5, 10, 4, 11, 12, 13, 12, 13, 12, 11, 14, 14, 19, 18}

Heart rate during laughter. Laughter is often called “the best medicine,” since studies have shown that laughter can reduce muscle tension and increase oxygenation of the blood. In the International Journal of Obesity (Jan. 2007), researchers at Vanderbilt University investigated the physiological changes that accompany laughter. Ninety subjects (18–34 years old) watched film clips designed to evoke laughter. During the laughing period, the researchers measured the heart rate (beats per minute) of each subject,
with the following summary results:
Mean = 73.5,
Standard Deviation = 6. n=90 (we can treat this as a large sample and use z)
It is well known that the mean resting heart rate of adults is 71 beats per minute. Based on the research on laughter and heart rate, we would expect subjects to have a higher heart beat rate while laughing.Construct 95% Confidence interval using z value. What is the lower bound of CI?
a) Calculate the value of the test statistic.(z*)
b) If…

Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part.

At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. Wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. At a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. However, the velocity did change. Sixty-two wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec.
