Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l.
Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l?
Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.
By what percentage is salary predicted to increase if ros increases by 50 points? Does ros have a practically large effect on salary?
According to Deloitte, through January 25,2006, the majority of companies reporting profits had beaten estimates. Now suppose that for the 4th quarter of 2012, 170 of a random sample of 280 companies reported profits that had beaten estimates.
Does the data indicate the proportion of companies in the 4th quarter of 2012 that beat estimates is greater than 56% at α=0.05?
