Concept explainers
A study was performed to determine the effect of introducing a low-fat diet on hormone levels of 73 postmenopausal women not using exogenous hormones [15]. The data in Table 8.25 were presented for plasma estradiol in log10 (picograms/milliliter).
Table 8.25 Change in plasma estradiol after adopting a low-fat diet
aValues are mean and sd (in parentheses) for log (base 10) of preintervention and postintervention measurements and for their difference.
Suppose a similar study is planned among women who use exogenous hormones. How many participants need to be enrolled if the mean change in log10 (plasma estradiol) is −0.08, the standard deviation of change is 0.20, and we want to conduct a two-sided test with an α level of .05 and a power of .80?

- A company found that the daily sales revenue of its flagship product follows a normal distribution with a mean of $4500 and a standard deviation of $450. The company defines a "high-sales day" that is, any day with sales exceeding $4800. please provide a step by step on how to get the answers in excel Q: What percentage of days can the company expect to have "high-sales days" or sales greater than $4800? Q: What is the sales revenue threshold for the bottom 10% of days? (please note that 10% refers to the probability/area under bell curve towards the lower tail of bell curve) Provide answers in the yellow cellsarrow_forwardFind the critical value for a left-tailed test using the F distribution with a 0.025, degrees of freedom in the numerator=12, and degrees of freedom in the denominator = 50. A portion of the table of critical values of the F-distribution is provided. Click the icon to view the partial table of critical values of the F-distribution. What is the critical value? (Round to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardA retail store manager claims that the average daily sales of the store are $1,500. You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value. Showing the calculation is a must. If calculation is missing,so please provide a step by step on the answers Numerical answers in the yellow cellsarrow_forward
