Health insurers are beginning to offer telemedicine services online that replace the common office visit. A company provides a video service that allows subscribers to connect with a physician online and receive prescribed treatments.

As health-care costs continue to increase, the number of employers who offer their employees telehealth options is growing. In 2021, net cost savings is estimated to be $19–$121 per telemedicine visit, depending on where the employee would have otherwise sought care (First Stop Health). The data shown below ($), for a random sample of 20 online doctor visits, are consistent with the savings per visit reported by First Stop Health. 93 106 55 77 94 77 52 33 84 48 49 73 92 83 41 56 41 97 74 101 Assuming the population is roughly symmetric, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean savings (in dollars) for a televisit to the doctor as opposed to an office visit.

In an ongoing nationwide survey, a question asked is whether a respondent favors or opposes capital punishment (the death penalty) for persons convicted of murder. The output for this exercise compares the proportions who said that they were opposed to the death penalty in the year 2008 and the year 1993. Sample X N Sample p 2008 637 1912 0.333 1993 333 1418 0.235 Estimate for p(1) − p(2): 0.098 95% CI for p(1) − p(2): (0.068, 0.129) (a) What proportion of the year 2008 sample was opposed to the death penalty? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) What proportion of the year 1993 sample was opposed? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) What is the estimated difference between the proportions opposed to the death penalty in the 2 years? (Use p2008 − p1993. Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) Write the 95% confidence interval as it is given in the output. to Interpret this interval in the context of this situation. There is a…
The article “Well-fed Crickets Bowl Maidens Over” reports that female field crickets are attracted to males that have high chirp rates and hypothesized that chirp rate is related to nutritional status. The usual chirp rate doe male field crickets was reported to vary around a mean of 60 chirps per second. To investigate whether chirp rate was related to nutritional status, investigators fed male crickets a high protein diet for 8 days, after which chirp rate was measured. The mean chirp rate for the crickets on the high protein diet was reported to be 109 chirps per second. Is there convincing evidence that the mean chirp rate for crickets on a high protein diet is greater than 60 (which would then imply an advantage to attracting the ladies)? The sample size is 32 and the sample standard deviation is 40. Use a level of significance of 1%. Which test is appropriate for this data? Why? State the null and alternative hypothesis. What is the degrees of freedom? What is the value of…

In recent years, a growing array of entertainment options competes for consumer time. By 2004, cable television and radio surpassed broadcast television, recorded music, and the daily newspaper to become the two entertainment media with the greatest usage (The Wall Street Journal, January 26, 2004). Researchers used a sample of 15 individuals and collected data on the hours per week spent watching cable television and hours per week spent listening to the radio.

The introduction of selenium supplements to dairy cows is justified when pastures have low selenium levels.
