In a certain article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically ill patients. To measure pain threshold, a machine was used that delivered low-voltage direct current to different parts of the body (wrist, neck, and back). The machine measured current in milliamperes (mA). The pretreatment experimental group in the study had an average threshold of pain (pain was first detectable) at ? = 3.11 mA with standard deviation ? = 1.03 mA. Assume that the distribution of threshold pain, measured in milliamperes, is symmetric and more or less mound-shaped. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Refer to screenshot (a) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 68% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain (b) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 95% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain

A physician wants to test if temperature has an effect on heart rate. In order to do this, she compares the heart rate in beats per minute of several random volunteers after a period of time in a room with a temperature of 50∘F and after a period of time in a room with a temperature of 75∘F. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 11 volunteers, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the heart rate in beats per minute in the 50∘F room from the heart rate in beats per minute in the 75∘F room. Assume that the populations are normally distributed. The test statistic is t≈5.627, α=0.05, the corresponding rejection regions are t<−2.228 and t>2.228, the null hypothesis is H0:μd=0, and the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μd≠0. Which of the following statements are accurate for this hypothesis test in order to evaluate the claim that the true mean difference between the heart rate in the 75∘F room and the heart rate in the 50∘F room is significantly not equal to…

Assume that the populations are normally distributed. The physician uses the alternative hypothesis Ha:μd≠0. Suppose the test statistic t is computed as t≈5.627, which has 10 degrees of freedom. What range contains the p-value?
An article compared the dielectric constants between two types of asphalt, HL3 and HL8, commonly used in pavements. For 42 specimens of HL3 asphalt the average dielectric constant was 5.92 with a standard deviation of 0.15, and for 37 specimens of HL8 asphalt the average dielectric constant was 6.05 with a standard deviation of 0.16. Can you conclude that the mean dielectric constant differs between the two types of asphalt? Find the P-value and state a conclusion. The P-value is . Round the answer to four decimal places. We (Click to select) cannot can conclude that the mean dielectric constant differs between the two types of asphalt.
A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. What is the critical value of z if we need to conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is less than 0.25.
In simple linear regression, at what value of the independent variable, X, will the 95% confidence interval for the average value of Y be narrowest? At what value will the 95% prediction interval for the value of Y for a sin gle new observation be narrowest?
A random sample of 25 tires gave the average life as 38000 km and S.D. as 5000 km. Can it be concluded that the sample is drawn from a population with a mean life of 40000 km?
A study was done to compare the flu incidence rates at the sart and at the end of winter of a given year. A sample of 100 persons were asked for incidence of flu twice: once at the start and once at the end of winter. Sample data were as follows: a. Give 99% CI for the difference in flu incidence rates at the start and at the end of winter? b. Compute a measure of association between flue incidence at the start and at the end of winter?
In a certain city, the daily consumption of electricpower in millions of kilowatt-hours can be treated as arandom variable having a gamma distribution with α = 3and β = 2. If the power plant of this city has a daily capacity of 12 million kilowatt-hours, what is the prob-ability that this power supply will be inadequate on any given day?
