Do bathroom scales tend to underestimate a person’s true weight? A 150 lb test weight was placed on each of 50 bathroom scales. The readings on 28 of the scales were too light, and the readings on the other 22 were too heavy. Can you conclude that more than half of bathroom scales underestimate weight? Find the P-value and state a conclusion.
- The P-value is [ ] Round the answer to four decimal places.

1. Sarah believes that completely cutting caffeine out of a person’s diet will allow him or her more restful sleep at night. In fact, she believes that, on average, adults will have more than two additional nights of restful sleep in a four-week period after cutting out caffeine. She randomly selects 8 adults to help her test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days and then no caffeinated beverages for the...

Why do we naturally tend to trust some strangers more than others? One group of researchers decided to study the relationship between eye color and trustworthiness. In their experiment the researchers took photographs of 80 students (20 males with brown eyes, 20 males with blue eyes, 20 females with brown eyes, and 20 females with blue eyes), each seated in front of a white background looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. These photos were cropped so the...

Does it seem to you that people tend to be absent more on some days of the week than on others? Recently, a major biotechnology firm collected data with the hope of determining whether or not its employees were more likely to be absent (due to personal reasons or illness) on some weekdays than on others. The firm examined a random sample of 150 employee absences. The distribution of these 150 absences is shown in Table 1 below. The observed...

Carboxyhemoglobin is formed when hemoglobin is exposed to carbon monoxide. Heavy smokers tend to have a high percentage of carboxyhemoglobin in their blood.† Let x be a random variable representing percentage of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood. For a person who is a regular heavy smoker, x has a distribution that is approximately normal. A random sample of n = 12 blood tests given to a heavy smoker gave the following results (percent carboxyhemoglobin in the blood). Note: For degrees of...

Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important
in medical research. For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume
mean is about μ = 28 ml/kg.† Red blood cell volume that is
too low or too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose that
Roger has had seven blood tests, and the red blood cell volumes
were as follows.
