In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 47 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before-after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 3.5 and a standard deviation of 16.6. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol? Click here to view a t distribution table.

Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1500 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 11 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 11 mileages was 1332 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 232 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, u, of Citrus cars is less than 1500 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary,…

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 64 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.2 and a standard deviation of 1.81. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? O A. Ho: H>0 mg/dL O B. Ho: H=0 mg/dL H:H0 mg/dL Determine the test statistic. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.3 and a standard deviation of 16.4. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

The mean difference in the sample (n=100) is -12.7 with a standard deviation of 8.9. A. construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean differences in depressive symptoms between drug and placebo. B. From a statistical standpoint, does this represent a significant change in depressive symptoms between the new drug and the placebo?

A study was conducted of 90 adult male patients following a new treatment for congestive heart failure. One of the variables measured on the patients was the increase in exercise capacity (in minutes) over a 4-week treatment period. The previous treatment regime had produced an average increase of 2 minutes. The researchers wanted to evaluate whether the new treatment had increased the average exercise time compared to the previous treatment. The data yielded a sample average of 2.17 and a standard deviation of 1.05. Sample mean (x) = 2.17 Satandrad Deviation  (s) = 1.05 Population mean  (M) = 2  Sample size  (n) = 90  a) Carryout an appropriate hypothesis test achieve their goal (Use p-value approach). You may use a 5% significance level to draw a conclusion.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.6 and a standard deviation of 20.7. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0.
