Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 10P
The mean ±1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 25 females, 12 to 14 years of age, below the poverty level is 6.56 ± 0.64. Similarly, the mean ± 1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 40 females, 12 to 14 years of age, above the poverty level is 6.80 ± 0.76.
Suppose 50 girls above the poverty level and 50 girls below the poverty level are recruited for the study. How much power will the study have of finding a significant difference using a two-sided test with α = .05, assuming that the population parameters are the same as the sample estimates in Problem 8.2?
Test for a significant difference between the variances of the two groups.

What is the answer of the 8.5 question?
On an examination given to 8600 students, Hay’s score of 405 was higher than the scores of 3952 of the students who took the examination. What is the percentile for Hya’s score?
Two companies manufacture a rubber material in-
tended for use in an automotive application. The part will be
subjected to abrasive wear in the field application, so we decide
to compare the material produced by each company in a test.
Twenty-five samples of material from each company are tested
in an abrasion test, and the amount of wear after 1000 cycles is
observed. For company 1, the sample mean and standard de-
viation of wear are = 20 milligrams/1000 cycles and
s = 2 milligrams/1000 cycles, while for company 2 we obtain
= 15 milligrams/1000 cycles and s, = 8 milligrams/1000
cycles.
Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in mean wear µ, - Hz.
Assume each population is normally distributed but that their
variances are not equal.
What is the lower bound? Three decimal places

- How do we set an "alpha level" in science? How is this related to our comparison with a "p-value"?arrow_forwardA medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y) Generally, the systolic blood pressure depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 125 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function: Y= 15.50 + 0..90B+1.15A.

At the 5% significance level, the student will ▼ the null hypothesis.
