A researcher is interested in the blood folate level of women who live in a population with a high incidence of neural tube defects. He takes a random sample of size n of women aged 18-45 and measures their blood folate levels. He reports the mean and knows the population standard deviation (SD) and variance. He also states that he is 95% confident that the population mean of the blood folate level lies somewhere between 2.4 and 4.6 ng/ml. What was the sample mean observed by the researcher?
a. 1.5
b. 2.4
c. 4.6
d. 3.5
e. It is impossible to say from the information given

Suppose that a researcher is interested in estimating the mean systolic blood pressure, u, of executives of major corporations. He plans to use the blood pressures of a random sample of executives of major corporations to estimate u. Assuming that the standard deviation of the population of systolic blood pressures of executives of major corporations is 25 mm Hg, what is the minimum sample size needed for the researcher to be 90% confident that his estimate is within 3 mm...

contraceptive (OC) use and blood pressure in women. Suppose a
sample of ten 35-to 39 year old nonpregnant, premenopausal OC users
who work in a company and have a mean systolic blood pressure (SBP)
of 132.86 mm Hg and sample standard deviation of 15.34 mm Hg are
identified. A sample of 21 nonpregnant, premenopausal, non-OC users
in the same age group are similarly identified who have mean SBP of
127. 44...

A researcher is interested in estimating the mean cholesterol level in men. Based on a simple random sample of 54 men, the 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ was 189.9 < μ < 210.1 A. If 100 different samples of size 54 are selected, and based on each sample, a confidence interval was constructed, exactly 95 of these confidence intervals would contain the true value of μ. B. If many different samples of size 54 are selected and,...

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blood pressure, H. of CEOs of major corporations is less than 132 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test and measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of 50 CEOs of major corporations. Suppose that the population of systolic blood...
