Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma.† Over a period of months, an adult male patient has taken nine blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.33 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with ? = 1.79 mg/dl. (a)Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit=__ upper limit=__ margin of error=__ (b)What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.) A-? is known B-? is unknown C-uniform distribution of uric acid D-n is large E-normal distribution of uric acid c)Interpret your results in the context of this problem. MULTIPLE CHOICE A-We are 5% confident that the true uric acid level for this patient falls within this interval. B-We are 95% confident that the true uric acid level for this patient falls within this interval. C-The probability that this interval contains the true average uric acid level for this patient is 0.05. D-The probability that this interval contains the true average uric acid level for this patient is 0.95. (d)Find the sample size necessary for a 95% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 1.08 for the mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) ___ blood tests

Sheila's doctor is worried that she might develop gestational diabetes during her pregnancy. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their glucose level is above 140 mg/dl one hour after consuming a sugary drink. Sheila's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution, with p = 125 mg/dl ando = 10 mg/dl. Fill in the following blanks with the correct options: (a) If a single glucose measurement is made, the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes is (0.0668, 0.1587, 0.2525, or 0.3173?). (b) Assuming that the population mean is 125 mg/dl, imagine that we repeat taking all possible samples of size 4 from the population, then only about 1.3 out of (10, 100, or 1,000?) sample means will have values as large as (125 or 140?) cm or even larger.

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.† Suppose a small group of 19 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with ? = 0.36 gram.
