Chapter 8, Problem 99P
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).

The time to finish a race in minutes is lognormally distributed. The mean of the log (base 10) transformed time is 2.38 and the standard deviation is 0.4.
a. What is the time by which 80% of the runners will finish the race?
b. What percent of runners will finish the race between 60 and 100 minutes?
The antibody production of 12 male red-winged blackbirds before and after receiving testosterone implants was compared. The
units for antibody levels were natural log (10-3 optical density) per minute (In(mOD/min)). The mean change in antibody production
was d = 0.056, and the standard deviation was sd = 0.225
If
you were assigned the task of repeating this experiment, and wanted to ensure that you could detect a mean change of 0.02
units with a probability of 0.8, then what sample size would you use?
Since we are calculating n for a study of individuals, answers should be rounded up to the next whole number.
Each year the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) releases fuel economy data on cars manufactured in that year. Below are summary
statistics on fuel efficiency (in miles/gallon for city driving) from random samples of cars with manual and automatic transmissions manufactured in 2012.
We want to know if there is a statistical difference between the average fuel efficiencies between the two different types of transmission.
