A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow.

The population of male industrial workers in London who have never experienced a major coro- nary event has mean systolic blood pressure 136 mm Hg and mean diastolic blood pressure 84 mm Hg.- You might be interested in determining whether these values are the same as those for the popula- tion of industrial workers who have suffered a coronary event. (a) A sample of 86 workers who have experienced a major coronary event has mean systolic blood pressure xs 143 mm Hg and standard deviation s, = 24.4 mm Hg. Test the null hypothesis that the mean systolic blood pressure for the population of industrial workers who have experienced such an event is identical to the mean for the workers who have not, using a two-sided test at the a = 0.10 level.

Autumn's house is worth $370000 and the probability that fire destroys the house during the length of the policy is estimated to be 0.4%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) the house is destroyed the house survived 2.

However, unknown to the researcher, this figure is actually 50%, which is the same as in the general population.To attempt to find evidence for the claim, the researcher is going to take a random sample of 400 people who grew up as the only child. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample with an IQ score above 100. Answer the following: a) Find the mean of p: b)Find the standard deviation of p: c) Compute an approximation for P(p ≥ 0.525), which is the probability that there will be 52.5% or more people with IQ scores over 100 in the sample.
