On the computer, draw 1000 bootstrap samples of size 5 from the distribution of 173 values of ln(alcohol DR [diet record] + 1) in the Data Set VALID.DAT, where alcoh_dr is the amount of alcohol consumed as reported by diet record by a group of 173 American nurses who recorded each food eaten on a real-time basis, over four 1-week periods spaced approximately 3 months apart over the course of 1 year. For each sample of size 5, compute the sample mean
where n = 5 and μ0 = overall mean of ln(alcohol DR + 1)
over the 173 nurses = 1.7973.
If the central-limit theorem holds, then what percentage of t-values should exceed 2.776 in absolute value?

- A strain of Staphylococcus aureus doubles every 8 hours. A colony of 20000 was cultured in a petri dish for 8 hours. What is the population of the strain after a day?arrow_forwardA photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed of the film and believes that this can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the film to 20 mils. Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured. For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is.x₁ = 1.15 and S₁ = 0.11, while for the 20-mil film, the data yield 2 = 1.06 and s2 = 0.09. Note that an increase in film speed would lower the value of the observation in microjoules per square inch. Do the data support the claim that reducing the film thickness increases the mean speed of the film? Use a = 0.10 and assume that the two population variances are equal and the underlying population of film speed is normally distributed. The appropriate decision for the test is to reject the null hypothesis True Falsearrow_forwardThe waiting time for a customer in line at the county recorder's office is exponentially distributed with an average wait time of 14 seconds.
