Breast feeding sometimes results in a temporary loss of bone mass as calcium is depleted in the mother's body to provide for milk production. An investigation gave the following data on total body bone mineral content (g) for a sample of mothers both during breast feeding (B) and in the postweaning period (P).

Do the data suggest that true average total body bone mineral content during postweaning exceeds that during breast feeding by more than 25 g? State and test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use ?P − ?B. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

- You are observing the speeds of two CPUs, to find which one is expected to run faster. After a number of observations, you came up with the following results: CPU Speed Measurements 37 38 40 35 30 31 26 25 Number of Observations 18 15 CPU 1 CPU 2 10 10 10 5 0 2.0-24 2.5-2.9 3.5 - 3.9 4.0 - 4.5 3.0-3.4 Speed (GHz) A. Using this data, calculate the expected speed of each processor, and determine which of the two is faster. (Hint: when given a range of speeds, you can consider the average value within that range to be the speed at which the observations occurred).arrow_forwardThe data given is shown below 40 40 43 46 44 49 51 54 46 51 47 49 49 45 45 44 45 41 49 52 51 54 50 51 41 52 53 50 46 56 42 42 40 42 49 47 51 48 46 57 48 55 49 46 57 44 49 43 44 43 51 48 48 46 49 Class width = 6 Find the following: A.

Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. Construct the confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part a. What do you conclude about the effects of second-hand smoke?arrow_forward
