Watch your cholesterol: A sample of 290 patients between the ages of 38 and 82 were given a combination of drugs ezetimibe and simvastatin. They achieved a mean reduction in total cholesterol of 0.85 millimole per liter. Assume the population standard deviation is o =0.18. Part: 0/ 3 Part 1 of 3 (a) Construct a 90% confidence interval, for the mean reduction in total cholesterol in patients who take this combination of drugs. Round the answer to at least two decimal places. A 90% confidence interval for the mean reduction in cholesterol is

The drug Viagra became available in the U.S. in May 1988, in the wake of an advertising campaign that was unprecedented in scope and intensity. A Gallup poll found that by the end of the first week of May, 643 out of 1,005 adults were aware that Viagra was an impotency medication. a) Is the sample size large enough to compute a confidence interval for the proportion of adults who were aware that Viagra was an impotency medication after the first week of May? Yes, because more than 10 adults were not aware of Viagra Yes, because the sample size is greater than 30 Yes, because more than 10 adults were aware of Viagra Yes, because both np̂ and n(1-p̂) are greater than 10 b)Using the information from questions 1-3, suppose that p̂ is 0.40 and the standard error of p̂ is 0.10. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of adults that were aware of Viagra. (0.2355, 0.5645) (0.3, 0.5) (0.2355, 0.4) (0.3, 0.4)

The data below were collected in a clinical trial to compare a new drug to a placebo for its effectiveness in lowering total serum cholesterol. Generate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean total cholesterol levels between treatments. Generate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all patients with total cholesterol < 200. New Drug Placebo Total Sample (n=75) (n=75) (n=150) Mean (SD) Total Serum Cholesterol 185.0 (24.5) 204.3 (21.8) 194.7 (23.2) % Patients with Total Cholesterol < 200 78.00% 65.00% 71.50% a. 95% CI ( , )
A soft-drink manufacturer purchases aluminum cans from an outside vendor. A random sample of 70 cans is selected from a large shipment, and each is tested for strength by applying an increasing load to the side of the can until it punctures. Of the 70 cans, 59 meet the specification for puncture resistance. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of cans in the shipment that meet the specification. (b) How to interpret the confidence interval in part (a)? (c) Find the sample size needed for a 90% confidence interval to specify the proportion to within ±0.06. (d) If a 90% confidence interval is computed each day for 300 days, what is the probability that more than 280 of the confidence intervals cover the true proportions?
