- 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 womenarrow_forwardSuppose the mean retail price oer gallon of regular gasoline int the United States is $3.42 with a standard eviation of $0.40 and the retail price per gallon has a normal bell shaped distribution.

The data show the results of a survey of 12 teachers who were asked how many paintings they have in their houses. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 12, 14, 14, 14, 15, 14, 14, 14, 12, 13, 15, 14 What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: H1:H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is αα Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population mean is not significantly different from 13 at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean number of paintings that are in teachers' houses is equal to 13.
