Question

Transcribed Image Text:1.95 Do you have enough "good cholesterol"? High-
density lipoprotein (HDL) is sometimes called the
"good cholesterol" because high values are associated
with a reduced risk of heart disease. According to the
American Heart Association, people over the age of
20 years should have at least 40 milligrams per deciliter
(mg/dl) of HDL cholesterol.33 U.S. women aged 20 and
over have a mean HDL of 55 mg/dl with a standard
deviation of 15.5 mg/dl. Assume that the distribution is
Normal.
(a) What percent of women have low values of HDL
(40 mg/dl or less)?
(b) HDL levels of 60 mg/dl and higher are believed
to protect people from heart disease. What percent of
women have protective levels of HDL?
Clovere
2707
(c) Women with more than 40 mg/dl but less than 60 mg/dl
of HDL are in the intermediate range, neither very good or
very bad. What proportion are in this category?
C

When the upper left chamber is enlarged, the risk of heart problems is increased. The paper ("Left atrial size increases with body mass index in children")[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19147240] (International Journal of Cardiology [2009]) described a study in which the left atrial size was measured for a large number of children age 5 to 15 years. Based on this data, the authors concluded that for healthy children, the left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26.4 mm and a standard deviation of 4.2 mm. i) Use `plotDist` to draw the probability density function of the left atrial diameter. ii) Generate 50 sample measurements of the left atrial diameters and plot the measurements using a histogram. iii) Approximately what proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters less than 23.5 mm?arrow_forwardWhat is null and alternative hypothesis for this case?

- Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma.t Over a period of months, an adult male patient has taken seven blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.29 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with o = 1.95 mg/dl. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. What is the margin of error?

- Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma.t Over a period of months, an adult male patient has taken nine blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.41 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with o = 1.75 mg/dl.

Twelve cars were tested using type A tires and asked to travel on a certain route. The same car and driver, then do the same route and the same road conditions with type B tires. Fuel consumption (km/liter) is then recorded as (enclosed). Note: • Use the last digit of your ID (2602296545) in place of a value; • If the last digit is 0 then it is changed to 1; Example: ID 1234567890 → 1 Can we conclude that a car with type A tires has material consumption fuel better than a car with type B tires?
