On the computer, draw 1000 bootstrap samples of size 5 from the distribution of 173 values of ln(alcohol DR [diet record] + 1) in the Data Set VALID.DAT, where alcoh_dr is the amount of alcohol consumed as reported by diet record by a group of 173 American nurses who recorded each food eaten on a real-time basis, over four 1-week periods spaced approximately 3 months apart over the course of 1 year. For each sample of size 5, compute the sample mean
where n = 5 and μ0 = overall mean of ln(alcohol DR + 1)
over the 173 nurses = 1.7973.
What distribution should the t-values follow if the central-limit theorem holds? Assume μ0 is the population mean for ln(alcoh_dr + 1).

They test the drug on 3 volunteers (A, B, and C) by measuring their levels of arterial oxygen before receiving the drug (their base level) and then after 5 and 10 minutes have elapsed, respectively. The results are listed in the table.

- Data accumulated by the National Climatic Data Center shows that the average windspeed in miles per hour for St. Louis,Missouri, is 9.7. Suppose wind speed measurementsare normally distributed for a given geographic location. If 22.45% of the timethe wind speed measurements are more than 11.6 miles per hour, what is the standarddeviation of wind speed in St. Louis?arrow_forwardA photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed of the film, and believes that this can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the film to 20 mils. Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured. For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is = 1.15 and 81 = 0.11, while for the 20-mil film, the data yield 2 = 1.06 and 82 = 0.09. Note that an increase in film speed vould lower the value of the observation in microjoules per square inch. (a) Do the data support the claim that reducing the film thickness increases the mean speed of the film? Use a = 0.10 and assume that the two population variances are equal and the underlying population of film speed is normally distributed. What is the P-value for this test?
