From a nationwide study, we know that the mean diastolic blood pressure is 64.9 mm gH for children aged 5- 6 years of age, and that the measurements are normally distributed. Blood pressure measurements were taken on 11 children aged 5-6 years living in a specific community to determine whether their living conditions resulted in a difference in mean blood pressure. For these children the average diastolic blood pressure was found to be 59.3 mm Hg with standard deviation 7.8...
From a nationwide study, we know that the mean diastolic blood pressure is 65.8 mm gH for children aged 5-6 years of age, and that the measurements are normally distributed. Blood pressure measurements were taken on 10 children aged 5-6 years living in a specific community to determine whether their living conditions resulted in a difference in mean blood pressure. For these children the average diastolic blood pressure was found to be 60.6 mm Hg with standard deviation 8.4 mm...
From a nationwide study, we know that the mean diastolic blood pressure is 62.3 mm gH for children aged 5-6 years of age, and that the measurements are normally distributed. Blood pressure measurements were taken on 13 children aged 5-6 years living in a specific community to determine whether their living conditions resulted in a difference in mean blood pressure. For these children the average diastolic blood pressure was found to be 56.4 mm Hq with standard deviation 7.8 mm...
From a nationwide study, we know that the mean diastolic blood pressure is 66.1 mm gH for children aged 5-6 years of age, and that the measurements are normally distributed. Blood pressure measurements were taken on 11 children aged 5-6 years living in a specific community to determine whether their living conditions resulted in a difference in mean blood pressure. For these children the average diastolic blood pressure was found to be 60.4 mm Hg with standard deviation 8 mm...
QUESTION 1 10 points Save Answer The blood pressure (average of systolic and diastolic measurements) of each of 20 randomly selected persons was measured. The results were: 30, 38, 51, 32, 50, 23, 37, 24, 21, 67, 45, 47, 34, 36, 32, 29, 49, 55, 65, 41 Can we assume normality for this sample? (Hint: You can use qqnorm and qqline or the CLT to help answer this question) Yes Ο Νο QUESTION 2 10 points Save Answer The blood...
A manufacturer claims his light bulbs have a mean life of 1800 hours. A consumer group wants to test if their light bulbs do not last as long as the manufacturer claims. They tested a random sample of 270 bulbs and found them to have a sample mean life of 1790 hours and a sample standard deviation of 60 hours. Assess the manufacturer's claim. a) What is the null hypothesis? Correct: y = 1800 Incorrect x = 1800 Incorrect x...
Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements (mm Hg) taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.10 significance level to test for a difference between the measurements from the two arms. What can be concluded? Right arm Left arm 148 170 141 171 129 183 136 139 129 136 B. Ho: 470...
A study was carried out to assess the effect of a new medication in reducing blood pressure. In the trial, 59 subjects were enrolled, of which 30 were randomly allocated to receive a new treatment, while 29 received a control medication. After 20 weeks in the study, each subject's blood pressure, , was measured, leading to the following summary statistics: 9.63, 9.79, 1.41. With and representing the mean blood pressures in the treatment and control groups respectively, it is desired...
Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements (mm Hg) taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.01 significance level to test for a difference between the measurements from the two arms. What can be concluded? Right arm 137 145 165 131 171 136 174 139 144 Left arm 137 In this example....
A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOS) of major corporations. He believes that the mean systolic blood pressure, , of CEOs of major corporations is more than 136 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal artide. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to...
