- Five samples of a ferrous-type substance were used to determine if there is a difference between a laboratory chemical analysis and an X-ray fluorescence analysis of the iron content. Each sample was split into two subsamples and the two types of analysis were applied, with the accompanying results. Assuming that the populations are normal, test at the 0.02 level of significance whether the two methods of analysis give, on the average, the same result. Click here to view the sample analyses.

In 2000, 23% of students had not been absent from school even once during the previous month. In the 2004 survey, responses from 7792 randomly selected students showed that this figure had slipped to 22%. Officials would be concerned if student attendance were declining. Please refer to the following images:arrow_forwardSamples of body temperatures were taken from both men and women. The information from the samples is summarized below. Use a 0.05 significance level to to test the claim that men and women have different mean body temperatures. Men: n₁ = 15; 1 = 98.38° F; s₁ = 0.45°F Women: n2=91; 2 = 98.17°F; $2 = 0.65° F a.

- PLEASE ANSWER ASAP: A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. A total of 406 men newly diagnosed with CHD were included together with 406 men of similar ages who did not have CHD. The risk of CHD (measured by the OR) was higher among men who were inactive or only moderately active (collectively called ‘inactive’) than among those who were physically active: (See attached image) Odds ratio for inactive men compared to active men= (299 x 136)/(270 x 107)=1.41Suppose there is no misclassification in these data.What would the observed OR have been... 1. If 20% of all the inactive men had been misclassified as active? 2. If 10 % of inactive cases had been misclassified as active?arrow_forward3. Given the following GPA for 4 students: 2, 3, 3, 4.

- 5. Dementia is a common mental health problem affecting those over 65. It is believed that of those that have dementia, 31% worsen in mental cognition. Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) is a drug that is used to determine if it will be beneficial with those with dementia. In a clinical trial, 98 patients are given the drug and their cognition is observed. Of the 98 patients, only 28 worsened. Construct a test to determine whether ALC decreased the proportion of patients who worsen from dementia. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. b) Find the test statistic. Round to two decimal places. c) Find the p-value. Round to four decimal places. d) What is your decision at a 1% significance?arrow_forwardListed below are the lead concentrations in different Ayurveda medicines. Ayurveda is a traditional medical system commonly used in India. The lead concentrations listed here are from medicines manufactured in the United States. Use a significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than 14. 3.0,6.5,6.0,5.5,20.5,7.5,12.0,20.5,11.5,17.5arrow_forwardReports on a student's ACT, SAT, or MCAT usually give the percentile as well as the actual score. The percentile is the cumulative proportion stated as a percentage: the percentage of all scores that were lower than this one.

- The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationwide assessment of students' proficiency in nine subjects: mathematics, reading, writing, science, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. The main NAEP assessments are conducted annually on samples of students from grades 4, 8, and 12. Suppose in 2000, the science scores for female students had a mean of 146 with a standard deviation of 35. Assume that these scores are normally distributed with the given mean and standard deviation. The normal curve representing this distribution of the scores is symmetrical about a vertical line through . The value 41 is below the mean, and the value 251 is above the mean. The area under the curve between 41 and 251 is approximately . Similarly, 95.44% of the female students scored between and .arrow_forwardAccording to the American Lung association, lung cancer account for 28% of all cancer deaths in the US. A new type of screening for lung cancer, computed tomography (CT), has been developed. Medical researchers believe CT scans are scans are more sensitive than regular X-rays in pinpointing small tumors. The Cancer Center at the University of South Florida is currently conducting a clinical trial of 50,000 smokers nationwide to compare the effectiveness of CT scans with X-ray for detecting lung cancer (Today’s Tomorrows, Fall 2002). Each participating smoker is randomly assigned to one of the two screening methods, CT or chest X-ray, and his or her progress is tracked over time. The age at which the scanning method first detects a tumor is the variable of interest. A. Identify the data collection method used by the cancer researchers. B. dentify experimental units of the study. C. Identify the type of the variable measured. D. Identify the population and sample.arrow_forwardAcne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.arrow_forward
