A special diet is intended to reduce systolic blood pressure among patients diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension. If the diet is effective, the target is to have the average systolic blood pressure of this group be below 150. After six months on the diet, an SRS of 28 patients had an average systolic blood pressure of = 143, with standard deviation s = 21. Is this sufficient evidence that the diet is effective in meeting the target? Assume that the...
5 pts Question 9 A special diet is intended to reduce systolic blood pressure among patients diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension. If the diet is effective, the target is to have the average systolic blood pressure of this group be below 150. After six months on the diet, a sample of 28 patients had an average systolic blood pressure of zbor 143, with standard deviations-21. Using the sample, the effectiveness of the diet will be tested. Assume that the distribution...
Part 2 - Free response. Show all work. Each question part is worth 6 points. 19. A special diet is intended to reduce systolic blood pressure among patients diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension. If the diet is effective, the target is to have the average systolic blood pressure of this group be below 150. After six months on the diet, an SRS of 26 patients had an average systolic blood pressure of 141, with standard deviations - 22. Is this...
4. A researcher wishes to determine whether people with high blood pressure can reduce their blood pressure by following a particular diet. The sample data is shown below, where Hs represents the mean blood pressure of the treatment group and u, represents the mean for the control group significance level of 0.01 and whichever method you deem appropriate (p-value method, critical value . Use a method, or confidence interval method) to test the claim that the diet reduces the blood...
20) A researcher wishes to determine whether people with high blood pressure can reduce their blood pressure by following a particular diet. Use the sample data below to test the claim that the treatment population , is larger than the control population wz. Test the claim using a significance level of a = 0.01. The population variances are equal. Control Group Treatment Group ng = 79 n = 85 X = 189.1 X = 178.7 S = 37.2 s, =...
When subjects were treated with a drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the table below. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Using a 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the drug is effective in lowering systolic blood pressure? Before: 188, 210, 157,...
The following are the Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) of 12 patients undergoing drug therapy for hypertension: 183, 152, 178, 157, 194, 163, 144, 114, 178, 152, 118, 158. Please use the sign test to test if there is evidence that the median of the blood pressures of the population from which we assume this sample to have been drawn is different from 135 mmHg (the norm for the group). level of significance .05
A pharmaceutical company has developed a new drug to reduce cholesterol. A regulatory agency will recommend the new drug for use if there is convincing evidence that the mean reduction in cholesterol level after one month of use is more than 20 mg/dl. The company collected data by giving the new drug to a random sample of 50 people from the population of people with high cholesterol. The sample mean reduction was 24 mg/dl and the standard deviation was 15...

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. 31 24 43 35 32 36 31 The sample mean is x ≈ 33.1 ml/kg. Let x...
