Question 4 1.5 pts A researcher is interested in estimating the mean blood cholesterol levels of rats under a certain diet. Data on the blood cholesterol levels (mg/dl) of 34 rats give a sample mean of 85 mg/dl and a standard deviation of 12 mg/dl. Estimate the mean blood cholesterol of rats under this diet using a 95% level of confidence. Hypothesis test for one population mean (unknown population standard deviation) Confidence interval estimate for one population mean (unknown population standard deviation) Hypothesis test for population mean from paired differences Confidence interval estimate for population mean from paired differences Hypothesis test for difference in population means from two independent samples Confidence interval estimate for difference in population means from two independent samples

1. An article described a study in which all meals were provided for teen boys for three days followed by a stress test. The average systolic blood pressure (SBP) for a sample of 14 boys was 118.3 mm HG with a S.D. of 9.9 mm HG. Construct a 99% one-sided upper confidence interval for mean SBP. 2. An article considered the use of electromyostimulation (EMS) as a method to train healthy skeletal muscle. EMS sessions were carried out for 3 weeks on 17 ice hockey players. The skating performance test showed a S.D. of 0.09 seconds. Construct a 95% confidence interval of the S.D. of the skating performance test. 3. An article measured the weight of 30 rats under experiment controls. Suppose that 12 were underweight rats. Calculate a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the true proportion of rats that would show underweight from the experiment. Using the point estimate of p obtained from the preliminary sample, what sample size is needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 1?

1. To test the efficacy of a new cholesterol-lowering medication, 10 people are selected at random. Each has their LDL levels measured (shown below as Before), then take the medicine for 10 weeks, and then has their LDL levels measured again (After). Subject1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Before 127 118 138 193 178 133 134 119 185 146 After 97 93 111 197 180 117 115 129 185 137 Give a 92.1% confidence interval for μB−μA, the difference between LDL levels before and after taking the medication. Confidence Interval = 2. Find the critical values χ2L=χ21−α/2 and χ2R=χ2α/2 that correspond to 90% degree of confidence and the sample size n=19. χ2L= χ2R= 3.The weights of a random sample of cereal boxes that are supposed to weigh 1 pound are given below. Estimate the standard deviation of the entire population with 91.4% confidence. 0.991.051.060.98110.950.95 LCL = UCL = 4. Two random samples are selected from two independent populations. A summary of the samples sizes, sample means, and sample standard deviations is given below: n1=51,n2=52,x¯1=58.9,x¯2=70.4,s1=5.4s2=10.8 Find a 94.5% confidence interval for the difference μ1−μ2 of the means, assuming equal population variances. Confidence Interval =
