Chapter 7.2, Problem 25PB
Blood pressure Vincenzo Baranello was diagnosed with high blood pressure. He was able to keep his blood pressure in control for several months by taking blood pressure medicine (amlodipine besylate). Baranello’s blood pressure is monitored by taking three readings a day, in early morning, at midday, and in the evening.
- a. During this period, the
probability distribution of his systolic blood pressure reading had amean of 130 and a standard deviation of 6. If the successive observations behave like a random sample from this distribution, find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean for the three observations each day. - b. Suppose that the probability distribution of his blood pressure reading is normal. What is the shape of the sampling distribution? Why?
- c. Refer to part b. Find the probability that the sample mean exceeds 140, which is considered problematically high. (Hint: Use the sampling distribution, not the probability distribution for each observation.)

(b) Find a 95% confidence interval on of 102. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).
Let us suppose we have some article reported on a study of potential sources of injury to equine veterinarians conducted at a
university veterinary hospital. Forces on the hand were measured for several common activities that veterinarians engage in when
examining or treating horses. We will consider the forces on the hands for two tasks, lifting and using ultrasound. Assume that both
sample sizes are 6, the sample mean force for lifting was 6.2 pounds with standard deviation 1.5 pounds, and the sample mean force
for using ultrasound was 6.4 pounds with standard deviation 0.3 pounds. Assume that the standard deviations are known.
Suppose that you wanted to detect a true difference in mean force of 0.25 pounds on the hands for these two activities. Under the null
hypothesis, 40 = 0. What level of type II error would you recommend here?
