The brain volumes (cm cubedcm3) of 20 brains have a mean of 1059.21059.2 cm cubedcm3 and a standard deviation of 128.9128.9 cm cubedcm3. Use the given standard deviation and the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low or significantly high. For such data, would a brain volume of 1287.01287.0 cm cubedcm3 be significantly high?

Lacey is interested in determining whether people who have experienced a traumatic event experience more sleep disturbances than people who have not experienced such an event. She distributes a sleep disturbance survey to 103 individuals wh o experienced a traumatic event and to 98 people who had never experienced a traumatic event. If the mean score on the survey was 13.20 ( s = 3.51) for the trauma group and 8.10 ( s = 2.17 ) for the non-trauma group,...
