Chapter 12.1, Problem 6E
One factor in the development of tennis elbow, a malady that strikes fear in the hearts of all serious tennis players, is the impact-induced vibration of the racket-and-arm system at ball contact. It is well known that the likelihood of getting tennis elbow depends on various properties of the racket used. Consider the

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. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. 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?

Rats undergo stereotaxic surgery and an electrode is implanted in the right lateral habenula. Following a ten day recovery period, rats (kept at 80 percent body weight) are tested for the number of chocolate chips consumed during a 10 minute period of time both with and without electrical stimulation. The testing conditions are counter balanced. Compute the appropriate t-test for the data provided below.

The makers of the device are marketing it for high-level training, saying that even among professional athletes, the proportion who can score the top ranking of "light speed" is less than 22% . As a fitness trainer who wants to buy the device to attract more customers, you want to feel comfortable that the claim made by the makers is correct. To test the claim, you decide to perform a hypothesis test. To do so, you rent the device and have a random sample of 130 professional athletes use it; 26 score a ranking of "light speed." You confirm that it is appropriate to perform a Z -test. Why is a Z -test appropriate? Find z , the value of the test statistic for your Z -test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places. =zarrow_forward
- For the 23 space shuttle flights before the Challenger mission disaster in 1986, The following table shows the temperature (◦F) at the time of the flight and whether at least one primary O-ring suffered thermal distress. Use logistic regression to model the effect of temperature on the probability of thermal distress. Interpret the effect. Estimate the probability of thermal distress at 31◦F, the temperature at the time of the Challenger flight. At what temperature does the estimated probability equal 0.50? At that temperature, give a linear approximation for the change in the estimated probability per degree increase in temperature. Interpret the effect of temperature on the odds of thermal distress. Test the hypothesis that temperature has no effect, using (i) the Wald test, (ii) the likelihood-ratio test.arrow_forwardIn a recent survey, ice cream truck drivers in Cincinnati, Ohio, reported that they make about $280 in income on a typical summer day. The income was generally higher on days with longer work hours, particularly hot days, and on holidays. The accompanying data file includes five weeks of the driver’s daily income (Income), number of hours on the road (Hours), whether it was a particularly hot day (Hot = 1 if the high temperature was above 85°F, 0 otherwise), and whether it was a Holiday (Holiday = 1, 0 otherwise).
