Chapter 10.2, Problem 39E

(a)

To determine

To find the probability of getting a difference in sample mean 3051526=0.20=20%x¯Mx¯B and that is less than zero mg/dl.

(a)

Answer to Problem 39E

The probability is 0.0307 .

Explanation of Solution

From the previous exercise, we have:

  μ=18σ=9.6042x=0

The z score is the value decreased by the mean and divided by the standard deviation. Then we have,

  z=xμσ=0189.6042=1.87

Now we will determine the value of the probability, that is:

  P(x¯Mx¯B<0)=P(Z<1.87)=0.0307=3.07%

(b)

To determine

To explain should we be surprised if the sample mean cholesterol level for the fourteen year old boys exceeds the sample mean cholesterol level for the men.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 39E

Yes.

Explanation of Solution

It is given that:

  z=xμσ=0189.6042=1.87

And the probability is 0.0307 .

Thus, a probability is considered to be small when the probability is less than 0.05 .

We then note that the probability of the mean difference x¯Mx¯B being less than zero is small which means that it is unlikely that the mean difference is negative and thus we would be surprised if the sample mean cholesterol level for the fourteen year old boys exceeds the sample exceeds the sample mean cholesterol level for the mean. Thus, yes we should be surprised.
