The blood pressure of a person changes throughout the day. Suppose the systolic blood pressure of a person is measured 16 times over several days and the standard deviation of these measurements for the person is known to be σ=7.9 mmHg. Let μ be the true average blood pressure for that person and let x¯=127 be the average of the 16 measurements.
(a) Find a two-sided 94% confidence interval for μ. One can be 94% confident that the true average blood pressure μ for that person is between ____ and ___ .
(b) Find a lower-bound 94% confidence interval for μ. One can be 94% confident that the true average blood pressure μ for that person is at least ____.
(c) Find an upper-bound 94% confidence interval for μ. One can be 94% confident that the true average blood pressure μ for that person is at most ___.

The National Center for Health Statistics reports that the mean systolic blood pressure for males 35 to 44 years of age is 128 mmHg and the standard deviation in this population is 15 mmHg. The medical director of a large company looks at the medical records of 72 executives in this age group and finds that the mean systolic blood pressure in this sample is x 126.07 mmHg. Find the power of a one sided test that the executives blood...

Suppose you are given a sample of 18 systolic blood pressures having a mean of 121 mmHg and a sample standard deviation of 10 mmHg. You need to construct a 95% confidence interval around the true population mean systolic blood pressure. What would be the critical value you would use for this confidence interval? Select one: a. 2.086 b. 1.960 c. 2.101 d. 1.740 e. 2.110

A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 22 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Using this data, find the 99%99% confidence interval for the true difference in blood pressure for each patient after taking the new drug. Assume that the blood pressures are normally distributed for the population of patients both before and...

The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 72.4 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) for a sample of size 258 and a sample standard deviation 16.1 mmHg. How much of mmHg will lower for a typical patient's systolic blood pressure after taking the drug? Estimate with a 99% confidence. Preliminary: Is it safe to assume that n≤5% of all patients with a systolic blood pressure? No Yes...

When 14 different second-year medical students measured by the systolic blood pressure of the same person, they obtained the results listed below (in mmHg). Assuming that the population standard deviation is known to be 15 mmHg, use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean blood pressure level is less than 140 mmHg. Hyper- tension is defined to be a blood pressure level that is too high because it is 140 mmHg or greater. Assume the blood...

Loretta, who turns 91this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is 120 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 22 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 131mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 22 mmHg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is...
