The cheetah often exceeds speeds of 60 mph and, according to the online document “Cheetah Conservation in Southern Africa” (Trade&Environment Database (TED) Case Studies, Vol. 8, No. 2) by J. Urbaniak, the cheetah is capable of speeds up to 72 mph. Following is a frequency histogram for the speeds, in miles per hour, for a sample of 35 cheetahs.arrow_forwardLarge Data Sets from Appendix B. In Exercises 25–28, use the data set from Appendix B to test the given claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise.

- Hypertension It has been found that 26% of men 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 31.5% of women are hypertensive. A random sample of 136 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained. Can you conclude that a higher percentage of women have high blood pressure? Use a =0.10. Men 50 patients had high blood pressure Women 63 patients had high blood pressure for the proportion of men with high blood pressure and round all intermediate calculations to at least three decimal places.

The data are given in Table 6.23 and stored in QuizPulse10. We might expect mean pulse rates to increase under the stress of a quiz. Use the information in Exercise 6.250 and the data in Table 6.23 to test whether the data provide sufficient evidence to support this claim.

- A project based on touch therapy is presented at a science fair by a local high school student. In the science fair, practitioners of touch therapy are blindfolded to see if they can detect a "human energy field (HEF)" without touching patients. The student believes that a practitioner with less years of experience predicts more HEF correctly.

- Find part Barrow_forwardScenario: A therapist wanted to examine marital happiness in couples participating in therapy at her clinic. Couples were randomly assigned to participate in individual, couples, or group therapy. She measured marital happiness using a standardized scale ranging from 0 — 100, with higher numbers indicating greater marital bliss. She measured marital happiness at three time points from the start of therapy sessions (1, 6, and 12 weeks) and compared those across the three types of therapies offered.
