Chapter 9, Problem 18P
Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet favorably affect several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The Principal dietary polyunsaturated fat is linoleic acid. To test the effects of dietary supplementation with linoleic acid on blood pressure, 17 adults consumed 23 g/day of safflower oil, high in linoleic acid, for 4 weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements were taken at baseline (before ingestion of oil) and 1 month later, with the
Table 9.12 Effect of linoleic acid on SBP
Perform the test in Problem 9.17, and report a p-value.
9.17 What parametric test could be used to test for the effect of linoleic acid on SBP?

High cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. A total cholesterol reading above 190 mg/dL is considered high.A physician is concerned that a patient may be at risk for high cholesterol. In order to accurately measure the patient's average cholesterol level, the physician instructs the patient to come into the physician's office once a week for 12 weeks for a blood lipid screening. The results of the 12 measurements are listed below.

Use the critical value method to test the hypothesis that the patient's cholesterol level is greater than 190 mg/dL, using a significance level of 10%. Assume that the distribution of all cholesterol measurements from this patient is approximately normally distributed.
Determine the critical value(s) for this hypothesis test. Round the solution(s) to four decimal places. If more than one critical value exists, enter the solutions using a comma-separated list.Determine the test…
The quality control engineer at Palmer Industries is interested in estimating the tensile strength of steel wire based on its outside diameter and the amount of molybdenum in the steel. As an experiment, she selected 25 pieces of wire, measured the outside diameters, and determined the molybdenum content. Then she measured the tensile strength of each piece. The results of the first four are recorded in the table.

Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma. Over a period of months, and adult male patient has taken 13 blood test for uric acid. The main concentration was X=5.41 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid and healthy adult meals can be assumed to be normal, with o=1.81 mg/dl. find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in the patient's blood.

- A 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.

Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults.

Blood pressure was measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample.
