Textbook Question
Chapter 7.3, Problem 39E
Exercise 72 of Chapter 1 gave the following observations on a receptor binding measure (adjusted distribution volume) for a sample of 13 healthy individuals: 23, 39, 40, 41, 43, 47, 51. 58, 63. 66, 67. 69, 72.
- a. Is it plausible that the population distribution from which this sample was selected is normal?
- b. Calculate an interval for which you can be 95% confident that at least 95% of all healthy individuals in the population have adjusted distribution volumes lying between the limits of the interval.
- c. Predict the adjusted distribution volume of a single healthy individual by calculating a 95% prediction interval. How does this interval’s width compare to the width of the interval calculated in part (b)?

- 1)Remove the four potential outliers of 0, 0, 8, and 20, and then obtain a new histogram without the outliers. Does the data appear to be normally distributed now? 2)Assuming that the four potential outliers of 0, 0, 8, and 20 are not recording errors, repeat the hypothesis test from part (c) (again setting up the hypothesis test and using either the critical value or p-value approach), and compare your results with that obtained in (c). Did you make a different conclusion? 3)Imagine you know have to make a recommendation/conclusion to the company that hired you: Assuming that the four potential outlies are not recording errors, and looking at the two results above, would you recommend using the first test with the outliers or the second test with the outliers removed?

Ten percent (4,600) of the population were between 15-19 years old on April 1, 2016 and the size and age distribution of the population has remained constant. An investigation of the cases in the 15-19-year age group revealed that 22 of the reported cases were contracted prior to September 1. In addition, another 18 cases developed in April and May but were clinically resolved before September 1.

Group of answer choices Since Tobs = -2.82 > -4.604 we do not have enough evidence to conclude that the time management program has been effective in increasing production. Since Tobs = -2.82 < -2.132 we can conclude that the time management program has been effective in increasing production. Since Tobs = -1.64 > -2.132, we do not have enough evidence to conclude that the time management program has been effective in increasing production.…arrow_forward
