9.85 Iron Deficiency? Iron is essential to most life forms and to normal human physiology. It is an integral part of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health. Recommendations for iron are provided in Dietary Reference Intakes, developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for adult females under the age of 51 is 18 milligrams (mg) per day. The following iron intakes, in milligrams, were obtained during a 24-hour period for 45 randomly selected adult females under the age of 51.
At the 1% significance level do the data suggest that adult females under the age of 51 are, on average, getting less than the RDA of 18 mg of iron? Assume that the population standard deviation is 4.2 mg.
(Note: x = 14.68 mg.)

- h.w The EFISCEN wOod product model classifies wood products according to their life- span. There are four classifications: short (1 year), medium short (4 years)., medium long (16 years), and long (50 years). Based on data obtained from the European For- est Institute, the percentage of remaining wood products after t years for wood prod- ucts with long life-spans (such as those used in the building industry) is given by 100.3952 P(1) = 1 + 0.0316e0.0581 (a) What is the decay rate? (b) What is the percentage of remaining wood products after 10 years? (c) How long does it take for the percentage of remaining wood products to reach 50%?

- A certain virus affects 0.7% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 87% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 14% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. Virus No Virus TotalPositive Test Negative Test Total 100,000a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. % b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. %arrow_forwardHeart 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 might be the effect of early exposure to antibiotics on children's development? One study followed 11,532 full-term babies all born in the county of Avon, United Kingdom, during 1991 and 1992. Exposures to antibiotics during infancy were recorded, along with measures of body mass at regular intervals over several years. The researchers found that antibiotic exposure during the first six months of life was associated with increased body mass later in childhood.arrow_forward

If you use the Internet, have you ever paid to access or download music? This was one of the questions of interest in a recent Pew Internet and American Life Project Survey (Oct. 2010). Telephone in- terviews were conducted on a representative sample of 1,003 adults living in the United States. For this sample, 506 adults stated that they have paid to download music. a. Use the survey information to find a point estimate for the true proportion of U.S. adults who have paid to download music. NW b. Find an interval estimate for the proportion, part a. Use a 90% confidence interval. c. Give a practical interpretation of the interval, part b. Your answer should begin with "We are 90% confident ..." d.
