Arterial Cord pH. Umbilical cord blood analysis immediately after delivery is one way to measure the health of an infant after birth. Researchers G. Natalucci et al. used it as a predictor of brain maturation of preterm infants in the article “Functional Brain Maturation Assessed During Early Life Correlates with Anatomical Brain Maturation at Term-Equivalent Age in Preterm Infants” (Pediatric Research, Vol. 74. No. 1, pp. 68–74). Based on this study, we will assume that, for preterm infants, the pH level of the arterial cord (one vessel in the umbilical cord) is normally distributed with mean 7.32 and standard deviation 0.1. Find the percentage of preterm infants who have arterial cord pH levels
a. between 7.0 and 7.5.
b. over 7.4.
Q. The hippocampus shrinks in late adulthood, leading to impaired memory and increased risk for demen- tia. In a study of evaluating whether exercise training expands the hippocampus and improves spatial memory, 60 healthy but sedentary participants, aged 58 to 70, joined a one-year aerobic exercise pro- gram. Magnetic resonance images were collected before the intervention and again after the completion of the program and participants’ hippocampal volumes (in cm3) were measured.
(a) Does exercise training increase the average size of hippocampus by more than 0.1 cm3? Give a test at 5% level of significance.
Body Fat. J. McWhorter et al. of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, studied physical therapy students during their graduate-school years. The researchers were interested in the fact that, although graduate physical-therapy students are taught the principles of fitness, some have difficulty finding the time to implement those principles. In the study, published as “An Evaluation of Physical Fitness Parameters for Graduate Students” (Journal of American College Health, Vol. 51, No. 1, pp. 32–37), a sample of 27 female graduate physical-therapy students had a mean of 22.46 percent body fat.
a. Assuming that percent body fat of female graduate physicaltherapy students is normally distributed with standard deviation 4.10 percent body fat, determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean percent body fat of all female graduate physical-therapy students.
b. Obtain the margin of error, E, for the confidence interval you found in part (a).

- Research engineers with the University of Kentucky Transportation Research Program have collected data on accidents occurring at all intersections in Lexington, Kentucky, over a period of 5 years. One of the goals to study was to compare the average number of left-turn accidents at locations with and without left turn only lanes to develop numerical warrants (or guidelines) for the installation of left turn lanes. a) Determine the population of the interest, its sample and variables. b) List one suitable method to collect the data.arrow_forwardResearchers are studying pomegranate’s antioxidant properties to see if it might have any beneficial effects in the treatment of cancer. One such study investigated whether pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) was effective in slowing the growth of prostate cancer tumors.

- A study is conducted in patients with HIV. The primary outcome is CD4 cell count, which is a measure of the stage of the disease. Lower CD4 counts are associated with more advanced disease. The investigators are interested in the association between vitamin and mineral supplements and CD4 count. A multiple regression analysis is performed relating CD4 count to the use of supplements (coded as 1 = yes and 0 = no) and to the duration of HIV in years (i.e., the number of years between the diagnosis of HIV and the study date). For the analysis, y = CD4 count: = 501.41 + 12.67 Supplements − 30.23 Duration of HIV. What is the expected CD4 count for a patient taking supplements who has had HIV for 2.5 years? What is the expected CD4 count for a patient not taking supplements who was diagnosed with HIV at study enrollment?

- Researchers1 asked parents of 19 American children, ages 8 to 12, to complete surveys on the number of hours their children spent reading and on the number of hours they spent on screen-based media time. Each of the children also underwent magnetic resonance imaging to assess connectivity in the brain. More time spent reading was associated with higher connectivity,while more screen time was associated with lower connectivity in the brains of the children.1.

Data on low-birthweight babies were collected over a 2-year period by 14 participating centers of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network. Results were reported by J. Lemons et al. in the on-line paper “Very Low Birth Weight Outcomes of the National Institute of ChildHealth and Human Development Neonatal Research Network” (Pediatrics, Vol. 107, No. 1, p. e1). For the 1084 surviving babies whose birth weights were 751– 1000 grams, the average length of stay in the hospital was 86 days, although one center had an average of 66 days and another had an average of 108 days. a. Can the mean lengths of stay be considered population means? Explain your answer.b. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 12 days, determine the z-score for a baby’s length of stay of 86 days at the center where the mean was 66 days.c.
