Question
The National Center for Health Statistics reports that systolic blood pressure for males 35 to
44 years of age have a mean of 128. The medical director in a large hospital found that the mean blood pressure of 16 patients is 126.07 with a standard deviation of 5.
(a) Is this enough evidence to say that this group of patients has significantly lower blood pressure
at a 2.5% level?
(b) Also find the p-value for the test.
(c) Find a 98% confidence interval for the true average blood pressure?
Using the graph for part a and b.

- Almost all medical schools in the United States require students to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). To estimate the mean score μ of those who took the MCAT on your campus, you will obtain the scores of an SRS of students. The scores follow a Normal distribution, and from published information, you know that the standard deviation of scores for all MCAT takers is 10.8. Suppose that (unknown to you) the mean score of those taking the MCAT on your campus is 510. 80 Q 5 9 F5 6 MacBook Air C F6 & 7 F7 * 00 8 O Macmillan Learning If you choose one student at random, what is the probability that the student's score is between 505 and 515?
