Suppose that the sitting​ back-to-knee length for a group of adults has a normal distribution with a mean of mu equals 22.7 in. and a standard deviation of sigma equals 1.2 in. These data are often used in the design of different​ seats, including aircraft​ seats, train​ seats, theater​ seats, and classroom seats. Instead of using 0.05 for identifying significant​ values, use the criteria that a value x is significantly high if​ P(x or ​greater)less than or equals0.01 and a value is significantly low if​ P(x or ​less)less than or equals0.01. Find the​ back-to-knee lengths separating significant values from those that are not significant. Using these​ criteria, is a​ back-to-knee length of 24.9 in. significantly​ high? Find the​ back-to-knee lengths separating significant values from those that are not significant. ​Back-to-knee lengths greater than nothing in. and less than nothing in. are not​ significant, and values outside that range are considered significant. ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.).

Expert Solution

µ =    22.7                      
σ =    1.2                     
z value at   0.01   = ±   2.326   (excel formula =NORMSINV(   0.02   / 2 ) )  
                          
z = ( x - µ ) / σ                          
so, X = z σ + µ =                          
X1 =   -2.326   *   1.2   +   22.7   =   19.9
X2 =   2.326   *   1.2   +   22.7   =   25.5

​Back-to-knee lengths greater than 25.5

. and less than 19.9  are not​ significant,

24.9 in. is not significantly high

The level of magnesium in the blood of healthy young adults follows a normal distribution, with mean μ = 10 milligrams per deciliter and standard deviation σ = 0.4. A clinic measures the magnesium of 25 healthy pregnant young women at their first visit for prenatal care. The sample mean of these 25 measurements is 9.6. Is this evidence that the mean magnesium level in the population from which these women come is less than 10? To answer this, test...
