Question
A surgeon would like to know how long it takes, on average, to complete a coronary artery bypass surgery. She samples 25 surgeries and logs the time it takes to complete each one, in hours:
6.2, 5.8, 6.1, 6.2, 5.6, 6, 5.6, 5.9, 5.7, 5.9, 5.8, 5.5, 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 5.9, 6.2, 5.7, 6.2, 5.4, 5.8, 5.6, 5.4, 6.1, 5.7
Assuming the population standard deviation is σ=0.25, construct a 89% confidence interval for the average time it takes to complete a coronary artery bypass surgery.

- You want to determine the effect of soap on bacterial colonies. In order to make sure that the environment does not affect your experiment, you divide 13 different petri dishes in half - one side is exposed to soap, the other is a control. You may use R but please show all the steps and codes involved. You measure the number of colonies that grow in each petri dish and come up with the following results: petri dish: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13soap: 10 5 7 10 19 11 13 17 19 8 11 10 16control: 20 17 11 17 26 18 21 25 24 17 17 17 21 Perform a complete hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in bacterial colonies between the soap and control dishes.arrow_forwardA new aircraft control system is being designed that must be 97.5% reliable.

- A researcher wants to know how long it takes, on average, for a certain species of bacteria to divide. She watches 16 cells through a microscope and times how long it takes them to divide. She obtains the following data, in hours: 8, 6.6, 9, 7.4, 6.1, 8.9, 10, 8.1, 8.4, 8.3, 8.3, 8.4, 4.9, 7.8, 7.4, 6.3 Assuming the population standard deviation is o = average time it takes this species of bacteria to divide. 1.1, construct a 97% confidence interval for the Margin of Error: E We are 97% confident that this species of bacteria takes, on average, between hours and hours to divide.arrow_forwardThe owner of a book shop surveyed people who bought fantasy novels to see if the store should expand its hours.

She performed experiments in which she hypodermically injected green pepper plants to determine if she could induce tumors. In one experiment she varied the concentration of cytokinin and the ratio of auxin concentration to cytokinin concentration. She used 3 concentrations of cytokinin and 6 ratios of auxin/cytokinin. The concentrations are indexed (1-3) with 3 indicating the highest concentration of cytokinin. The 6 ratios of auxin/cytokinin varied from 0.125 to 5.0 with values greater than 1 indicating that auxin was in greater concentration than cytokinin. The resulting data are in the date file "auxcyt.csv". The measured sizes of the tumors induced (relative to controls) are given in the 3rd column ('sumdiffd'). Analyze these data testing the appropriate hypotheses and interpret the results. (Note the unequal sample sizes.) auxcyt data…arrow_forward
