Question
Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 50 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.20 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.

- A notable indicator of a baby's health is the weight gained in the first year of the baby's life. Assume that the population of all such weight gains for baby girls is approximately normally distributed. A study claimed that the mean of this population is 5.94 kg. As a practicing pediatrician, you want to test this claim. So, you select a random sample of 15 baby girls, and you record the weight each gained in their first year. Follow the steps below to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of all the weight gains for baby girls in their first year. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample.

- Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. People with less than 12 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter of blood (g/dl) are anemic. A public health official in Oklahoma suspects that the mean hemoglobin of children in his city is different than 12. (a) µ represents the population mean of children in Oklahoma.

There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their glucose level is above 140 mg/dl one hour after consuming a sugary drink. Sheila's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution, with p = 125 mg/dl ando = 10 mg/dl. Fill in the following blanks with the correct options: (a) If a single glucose measurement is made, the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes is (0.0668, 0.1587, 0.2525, or 0.3173?). (b) Assuming that the population mean is 125 mg/dl, imagine that we repeat taking all possible samples of size 4 from the population, then only about 1.3 out of (10, 100, or 1,000?) sample means will have values as large as (125 or 140?) cm or even larger.arrow_forward
