Since the z score for the tallest man is z= __________and the z score for the shortest man is z=___________, the tallest or shortest man had the height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)
In 1988 the Vatican authorized the British Museum to date a cloth relic known as the Shroud of Turin, possibly the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth. This cloth, which first surfaced in 1356, contains the negative image of a human body that was widely believed to be that of Jesus. The report of the British Museum showed that the fibers in the cloth contained between 92% and 93% of their original carbon-14. Use this information to estimate the age of the shroud.
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 physician wants to test if temperature has an effect on heart rate. In order to do this, she compares the heart rates 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 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?arrow_forwardA physician wants to test if temperature has an effect on heart rate.

- The amount of oxygen consumption (ml/min) was measured in 6 individuals over two 10- minute periods while sitting with their eyes closed. During the first period, they listen to an exciting adventure story and then again, an hour later while they heard restful music. Based on the results shown, is oxygen consumption different depending on whether it is a story or music one is listening to?
