Is there a difference in the amount of airborne bacteria between carpeted and uncarpeted rooms? In an experiment, 7 rooms were carpeted and 7 were left uncarpeted. The rooms are similar in size and function. After a suitable period of time, the concentration of bacteria in the air was measured (in units of bacteria per cubic foot) in all of these rooms. Assume the populations are normally distributed. The following is a summary of the data: Carpeted rooms: Uncarpeted rooms: X 184 175 S 22.0 16.9 19. A 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean bacterial concentration in the air of carpeted rooms versus uncarpeted rooms is (use 11 degrees of freedom). O -7.47 to 31.47. O -18.89 to 42.89.

If a person tests positive for the virus, what is the probability that the person is really infected. (Note: in medical terminology, this probability measures the "positive predictive value" of the test) b) If a person tests negative for the virus, what is the probability that the person really is not infected. (This is called the "negative predictive value")arrow_forward
