1. Does the herb Echinacea help the common cold? A study investigated the impact of
echinacea vs. a standard cold medication on cold symptoms. Each subject in the study
chose to take either the echinacea or a standard cold medication in capsule form After
taking the capsule for one week, the subjects then reported to the researchers the status of
their cold symptoms. The researchers subsequently reported that there was no
statistically significant difference in the duration of the cold between these groups. The
variable duration of cold in this study would be the

In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed; of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. The article “Health Effects of Exposure to Water-Damaged New Orleans Homes Six Months After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita” (K. Cummings, J. Cox-Ganser, et al., American Journal of Public Health, 2008:869–875) reports that in a sample of 365 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 77 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 179 residents who had not participated in cleaning, 23 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that the frequency of wheezing symptoms is greater among those residents who participated in the cleaning of flood-damaged…

This problem is based on information taken from the Merck Manual (a reference manual used in most medial and nursing schools). Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure reading over 140 mm Hg systolic and/or over 90 mm Hg diastolic. Hypertensions, if not corrected, can cause long-term health problems. In the college-age population (18-24 years), about 9.2% have hypertension. Suppose that a blood donor program is taking place in a college dormitory this week (final exams week). Before each student gives blood, the nurse takes a blood pressure reading. Of 196 donors, it is found that 29 have hypertension. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of students with hypertension during final exams week is higher than 9.2%? Use a 5% level of significance.arrow_forward
- Meteoroids. In the article “Interstellar Pelting” (Scientific American, Vol. 288, No. 5, pp. 28–30), G. Musser explained that information on extrasolar planets can be discerned from foreign material and dust found in our solar system. Studies show that 1 in every 100 meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere is actually alien matter from outside our solar system. a. Of 300 meteoroids entering the Earth’s atmosphere, how many would you expect to be alien matter from outside our solar system? Justify your answer. b. Apply the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution to determine the probability that, of 300 meteoroids entering the Earth’s atmosphere, between 2 and 4, inclusive, are alien matter from outside our solar system. c.

A major car manufacturer wants to test a new engine to determine whether it meets new air pollution standards. The mean emission, u of all engines of this type must be approximately 20 parts per million of carbon. If it is higher than that, the manufacturer will have to redesign parts of the engine. Ten engines are manufactured for testing purposes, and the emission level of each is determined. Based on data collected over the years from a variety of engines, it seems reasonable to assume that emission levels are roughly Normally distributed with o = 3 parts per 3D3 %3D million of carbon.

Auto Exhaust and Lead Exposure Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 19 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 11.2µg/dl and a SD of 4.5µg/dl; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 7.2μg/dl.
