Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (i.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is μ = 7.4.† A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 36 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.7 with sample standard deviation s = 3.4. Use a...

For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is μ = 7.4.† A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 41 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.5 with sample standard deviation s = 3.4. Use a...
Let x be a random variable that represents red blood cell count (RBC) in millions of cells per cubic millimeter of whole blood. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal. For the population of healthy female adults, suppose the mean of the x distribution is about 4.78. Suppose that a female patient has taken six laboratory blood tests over the past several months and that the RBC count data sent to the patient's doctor are as follows. 4.9...

Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is u = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 46 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 2.8 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid...
Let x be a random variable that represents hemoglobin count (HC) in grams per 100 milliliters of whole blood. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with population mean of about 14 for healthy adult women. Suppose that a female patient has taken 10 laboratory blood tests during the past year. The HC data sent to the patient's doctor are as follows. 16 19 16 18 15 11 14 16 16 12 (i) Use a calculator with sample...

For a random sample of 36 data pairs, the sample mean of the differences was 0.72. The sample standard deviation of the differences was 2. At the 5% level of significance, test the claim that the population mean of the differences is different from 0. (a) Is it appropriate to use a Student's t distribution for the sample test statistic? Explain. No, the sample size is not larger than 30. Yes, the sample size is larger than 30. No, the...
A machine in the student lounge dispenses coffee. The average cup of coffee is supposed to contain 7.0 ounces. A random sample of eight cups of coffee from this machine show the average content to be 7.4 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.70 ounce. Do you think that the machine has slipped out of adjustment and that the average amount of coffee per cup is different from 7 ounces? Use a 5% level of significance. What are we testing...
