9. The relationship of the second sentence below to the first sentence is one of A. cause and effect. B. contrast. C. illustration. D. comparison. "If we're fortunate enough to experience true love in our lifetime, we discover what it is and what it's not. Yet, even with experience, true love can be difficult to describe." (Paragraph 2) Patterns of Organization 10. The main pattern of organization of the entire selection is A. comparison and/or contrast. B. cause and effect. C. time order.

A. In a clinical trial, 21 out of 842 patients taking a prescription drug daily complained of flu-like symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 2.2% of patients taking competing drugs complain of flu-like symptoms. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 2.2% of this drug's users experience flu-like symptoms as a side effect at the α=0.01 level of significance? Find t-stat, Z0, and p-value. B. Suppose a mutual fund qualifies as having moderate risk if the standard deviation of its monthly rate of return is less than 5%. A mutual fund rating agency randomly selects 21 months and determines the rate of return for a certain fund. The standard deviation of the rate of return is computed to be 3.67%. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the fund has moderate risk at the α=0.10 level of significance? A normal probability plot indicates that the monthly rates of return are normally distributed. Find p-value. C. The piston diameter of a certain hand pump is 0.6 inches. The manager determines that the diameters are normally distributed, with a mean of 0.6 inches and a standard deviation of 0.003 inches. After recalibrating the production machine, the manager randomly selects 29 pistons and determines that the standard deviation is 0.0022 inches. Is there significant evidence for the manager to conclude that the standard deviation has decreased at the α=0.10 level of significance? Find p-value. D. Suppose a professional golfing association requires that the standard deviation of the diameter of a golf ball be less than 0.004 inches. Determine whether these golf balls conform to this requirement at the α=0.05 level of significance. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Find sample standard deviation, use s to find t statistic, and find p-value. E. A psychologist obtains a random sample of 20 mothers in the first trimester of their pregnancy. The mothers are asked to play Mozart in the house at least 30 minutes each day until they give birth. After 5 years, the child is administered an IQ test. It is known that IQs are normally distributed with a mean of 100. If the IQs of the 20 children in the study result in a sample mean of 104.4 and sample standard deviation of 16, is there evidence that the children have higher IQs? Use the α=0.05 level of significance. Complete parts (a) through (d). Find p-value. F. In 1945, an organization asked 1536 randomly sampled American citizens, "Do you think we can develop a way to protect ourselves from atomic bombs in case others tried to use them against us?" with 821 responding yes. Did a majority of the citizens feel the country could develop a way to protect itself from atomic bombs in 1945? Use the α=0.05 level of significance. Find p-value. G. A manufacturer of alloy steel beams requires that the standard deviation of yield strength not exceed 7000 psi. The quality-control manager selected a sample of 20 beams and measured their yield strength. The standard deviation of the sample was 8100 psi. Assume that the yield strengths are normally distributed. Does the evidence suggest that the standard deviation of yield strength exceeds 7000 psi at the α=0.01 level of significance? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Find p-value.
