- The average annual miles driven per vehicle in the United States is 11.1 thousand miles, with σ ≈ 600 miles. Suppose that a random sample of 26 vehicles owned by residents of Chicago showed that the average mileage driven last year was 10.8thousand miles. Does this indicate that the average miles driven per vehicle in Chicago is different from (higher or lower than) the national average?

- The mean ±1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 25 females, 12 to 14 years of age, below the poverty level is 6.56 ± 0.64. Similarly, the mean ± 1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 40 females, 12 to 14 years of age, above the poverty level is 6.80 ± 0.76. *8.7 Suppose an equal number of 12- to 14-year-old girls below and above the poverty level are recruited to studydifferences in calcium intake. How many girls should be recruited to have an 80% chance of detecting a significant difference using a two-sided test with α = .05? *8.8 Answer Problem 8.7 if a one-sided rather than a twosided test is used. *8.9 Using a two-sided test with α = .05, answer Problem 8.7, anticipating that two girls above the poverty level will be recruited for every one girl below the poverty level who is recruited.arrow_forward11.
