Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8P
The mean ±1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 25 females, 12 to 14 years of age, below the poverty level is 6.56 ± 0.64. Similarly, the mean ± 1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 40 females, 12 to 14 years of age, above the poverty level is 6.80 ± 0.76.
Answer Problem 8.7 if a one-sided rather than a twosided test is used.
Suppose an equal number of 12- to 14-year-old girls below and above the poverty level are recruited to study differences in calcium intake. How many girls should be recruited to have an 80% chance of detecting a significant difference using a two-sided test with α = .05?

QUESTION 25
A clinical trial is being conducted in order to determine the efficacy of a new drug used to treat Rheumatoid arthritis. The efficacy of the medication will not only be determined by the physical improvement of symptoms but also by using a blood test to examine the concentration C-reactive protein (an inflammatory marker) in an individual’s blood. If the researcher wants a margin of error for the level of C-reactive protein to be less than or equal to 3.0 mg/dL, and if the standard deviation for C-reactive protein concentrations among arthritis patients was previously documented at 8 mg/dL, how many patients should be recruited for each group in the study assuming a 95% confidence interval will be used to quantify the mean differences between the control group and the treatment group?
nfor the treatment group = 112; n for the control group = 111
nfor the treatment group = 56; n for the control group = 57
nfor the treatment group = 55; n…
The mean ±1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 25females, 12 to 14 years of age, below the poverty level is6.56 ± 0.64. Similarly, the mean ± 1 sd of ln [calcium intake(mg)] among 40 females, 12 to 14 years of age, above thepoverty level is 6.80 ± 0.76.
8.4 Implement the procedure in Problem 8.3 using thecritical-value method.
8.3 What is the appropriate procedure to test for a significantdifference in means between the two groups?
The mayoral challenger claims that less than 30% of residents over the age of 25 have bachelor’s degrees in our city. To test this claim, you survey 80 adults over the age of 25 and find only 18 possess bachelor’s degrees. At the 5% level of significance, is there enough evidence to SUPPORT the challenger’s claim?
Complete the correct calculator with the values from the problem.
6.) Compare the p-value with the level of significance. Is the p-value less than or greater than alpha?
7.) Based on your answer in #6, do we reject or fail to reject the null Ho?
8.) Based on your answer in #7, do we support or fail to support the claim?
9.) At the 5% level of significance, is there enough evidence to SUPPORT the challenger’s claim?
Give a full conclusion statement. Don't forget to include the level of significance and restate the claim.

The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardQUESTION 9 The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) conducted a survey to estimate the average number of employees per small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in Free State. For a random sample of 144 SMEs in Free State, the DTI found that the average number of employees was 24.4. Assume that the population standard deviation is 10.8 employees and that the number of employees per SME is normally distributed. Using this information and rounding off the z or t values that you derive to 2 decimal places, the 95% confidence interval of the average number of employees per SME in Free State is for the lower limit andfor the upper limit. (Note: write your final answers to 3 decimal places and when writing your answer use "." (3.250) instead of "," (3,250) with no spaces between digits).arrow_forward
