In a study designed to test the effectiveness of magnets for treating back pain, 40 patients were given a treatment with magnets and also a sham treatment without magnets. Pain was measured using a scale from 0 (no pain) to 100 (extreme pain). After given the magnet treatments, the 40 patients had pain scores with a mean of 12.0 and a standard deviation of 2.8. After being given the sham treatments, the 40 patients had pain scores with a mean...
The random sample shown below was selected from a normal distribution 7, 3, 9, 8, 3,6 Complete parts a and b. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Assume that sample mean x and sample standard deviation s remain exactly the same as those you just calculated but that are based on a sample of n -25 observations. Repeat part a. What is the effect of increasing the...

Problem: Proportion of "Cured” Cancer Patients: How Does Canada Compare with Europe? Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death for both Canadian men and women, responsible for the most potential years of life lost to cancer. Lung cancer alone accounts for 28% of all cancer deaths in Canada (32%. in Quebec). Most forms of lung cancer start insidiously and produce no apparent symptoms until they are too far advanced. Consequently, the chances of being cured of lung cancer...

Anyone help me with these 7 questions?
Questions: Q1. A random sample has been taken from a normal distribution and the following confidence intervals constructed using the same data: (38.02, 61.98) and (39.95, 60.05) (a) What is the value of the sample mean? (b) One of these intervals is a 95% CI and the other is a 90% CI. Which one is the 95% CI? Why? Q2. A civil engineer is analyzing the compressive strength of concrete. Compressive strength...
1. Newborn weight. A study takes a SRS from a population of
full-term infants. The standard deviation of birth weights in this
population is 2 pounds. Calculate 95% confidence intervals for μ
for samples in which:
a) n = 81 and = 7.0 pounds
b) n = 9 and = 7.0 pounds
c) Which sample provides the most precise estimate of the mean
birth weight?
d) Interpret the CI you computed in part a).
2. P-value and confidence interval. A...
MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Provide an appropriate response. 1) Many people think that a national lobby's successful fight against gun control legislation is reflecting the will of a minority of Americans. A random sample of 4000 citizens yielded 2250 who are in favor of gun control legislation. Estimate the true proportion of all Americans who are in favor of gun control legislation using a 98% confidence interval. Express the...
Over the past several months, an adult patient has been
treated for tetany (severe muscle spasms). This condition is
associated with an average total calcium level below 6 mg/dl.
Recently, the patient's total calcium tests gave the following
readings (in mg/dl). Assume that the population of x values has an
approximately normal distribution.
