The Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) is a measure of the enlargement of the left side of the heart and is expressed in the units $\left(\mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{ht}(\mathrm{m})^{27}\right) .$ High values may predict subsequent cardiovascular disease in children as they get older (Urbina et al., [11] ). A study is performed to relate the level of LVMI to blood pressure category in children and adolescents age $10-18$. The bp level of children was categorized as either Normal (bpcat $=1$ or bp percentile $<80 \%$ for a given age, gender, and height), Pre-Hypertensive (bpcat $=2$ or bp percentile $\geq 80 \%$ and bp percentile $\leq 90 \%$, or Hypertensive (bpcat $=3$ or bp percentile $\geq$ 90\%). The data are available in the data set LVM.XLS at I www.cengagebrain.com What is the arithmetic mean of LVMI by blood pressure group?
Suppose that Donovan is a cardiologist and knows that resting heart rates for healthy individuals follow a normal distribution with a mean of 67.2 beats per minute (bpm). Donovan wants to compare the resting heart rate of the nurses in his hospital with the national average. He decides to conduct a one-sample two-tailed test for the mean based on a simple random sample of 10 nurses in his hospital and obtains the following results: Sample mean = 81 bpm, Sample standard deviation = 5 bpm. Determine the difference between the sample mean and the population mean of 67.2 bpm statistically significant at the 0.05 significance level. The difference is statistically significant at the 0.05 level because the p-value is less than the significance level.

3.7 The survival times (in months) for two treatments for patients with severe chronic left-ventricular heart failure are given in the following tables. a. Construct separate relative frequency histograms for the survival times of both the therapies. b. Compare the two histograms. Does the new therapy appear to generate a longer survival time? Explain your answer. 3.8 Combine the data from the separate therapies in Exercise 3.7 into a single data set, and construct a relative frequency histogram for this combined data set. Does the plot indicate that the data are from two separate populations? Explain your answer.
