Cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the brains of healthy people is normally distributed with a mean of 72. A random sample of 25 stroke patients resulted in an average CBF of x = 69.9 with a standard deviation of s = 12. Test the hypothesis that the average CBF for stroke patients is different from that of healthy people using α = 0.05.
State the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

State the rejection region. (If the test is one-tailed, enter NONE for the unused region. Round your answers to three decimal places.)

For healthy individuals the level of prothrombin in the blood is approximately normally distributed with mean 20 mg/100 mL and standard deviation 4 mg/100mL. Low levels indicate low clotting ability. In studying the effect of gallstones on prothrombin, the level of each patient in a sample is measured to see if there is a deficiency. Let µ be the true average level of prothrombin for gallstone patients. a) What are the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis? b.) Let Xbar denote...

Test using the p-value approach with ? = 0.05.State the null and alternative hypothesis.H0: ? < 98.6 versus Ha: ? > 98.6H0: ? = 98.6 versus Ha: ? > 98.6 H0: ? = 98.6 versus Ha: ? < 98.6H0: ? = 98.6 versus Ha: ? ≠ 98.6H0: ? ≠ 98.6 versus Ha: ? = 98.6Find the test statistic and the p-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your p-value to four decimal places.)z=p-value=State your conclusion.The p-value is greater than alpha so H0 is not rejected. There is insufficient evidence to indicate that the average body temperature for healthy humans deviates from 98.6°.The p-value is less than alpha so H0 is rejected. There is sufficient evidence to...

A random sample of n = 10 observations from a normal population produced x = 47.8 and s2 = 4.3. Test the hypothesis H0: μ = 48 against Ha: μ ≠ 48 at the 5% level of significance. State the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) t = State the rejection region. (If the test is one-tailed, enter NONE for the unused region.

A manufacturer of hard safety hats for construction workers is concerned about the mean and the variation of the forces helmets transmit to wearers when subjected to a standard external force. The manufacturer desires the mean force transmitted by helmets to be 800 pounds (or less), well under the legal 1,000-pound limit, and σ to be less than 40. A random sample of n = 45 helmets was tested, and the sample mean and variance were found to be equal...
To properly treat patients, drugs prescribed by physicians must not only have a mean potency value as specified on the drug's container, but also the variation in potency values must be small. Otherwise, pharmacists would be distributing drug prescriptions that could be harmfully potent or have a low potency and be ineffective. A drug manufacturer claims that his drug has a potency of 5 ± 0.1 milligram per cubic centimeter (mg/cc). A random sample of four containers gave potency readings...
A laboratory daims that the mean sodium level, p, of a healthy adult is 138 mEq per liter of blood. To test this claim, a random sample of 150 adult patients is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is 137 mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 14 meg. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the population mean adult sodium level differs from...
A random sample of n = 1,000 observations from a binomial population contained 337 successes. You wish to show that p < 0.35. Given: H0: p = 0.35 versus Ha: p < 0.35 Solve: Calculate the appropriate test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z =?? Provide an α = 0.05 rejection region.

A laboratory claims that the mean sodium level, u, of a healthy adult is 138 mEq per liter of blood. To test this claim, a random sample of 70 adult patients is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is 134 mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 13 mEq. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the population mean adult sodium level differs from...
