Heart rate during laughter. Laughter is often called “the best medicine,” since studies have shown that laughter can reduce muscle tension and increase oxygenation of the blood. In the International Journal of Obesity (Jan. 2007), researchers at Vanderbilt University investigated the physiological changes that accompany laughter. Ninety subjects (18–34 years old) watched film clips designed to evoke laughter. During the laughing period, the researchers measured the heart rate (beats per minute) of each subject,
with the following summary results:
Mean = 73.5,
Standard Deviation = 6. n=90 (we can treat this as a large sample and use z)
It is well known that the mean resting heart rate of adults is 71 beats per minute. Based on the research on laughter and heart rate, we would expect subjects to have a higher heart beat rate while laughing.Construct 95% Confidence interval using z value. What is the lower bound of CI?
a) Calculate the value of the test statistic.(z*)
b) If…
Health care workers who use latex gloves with glove powder on a daily basis are particularly susceptible to developing a latex allergy. Each in a sample of 44 hospital employees who were diagnosed with a latex allergy based on a skin-prick test reported
on their exposure to latex gloves. Summary statistics for the number of latex gloves used per week are x= 19.4 and s = 11.7. Complete parts (a) - (d).
a. Give a point estimate for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy.
b. Form a 95% confidence interval for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy.
(Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
c. Give a practical interpretation of the interval, part (b).
O A. One can be 95% confident that latex gloves cause allergies for all who use a number of gloves contained in the interval.
O B. One can be 95% confident that the…
A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below,
r= -.863
R2=.74
b= -1.212294
a= 131.176598
10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class?
a) as students are added the incidences increase
b) as students are added the incidences decrease
c) the number of students does not affect acting out
d) the number of students caused more incidents
How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________

She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 352 trials, the touch therapists were correct 168 times. Complete parts (a) through (d). 20 a.
