A researcher wishes to investigate the idea that eating sea salt
raises blood pressure less than eating normal table salt. He
randomly selects two groups, each with 13 people. He arranges that
Group 1 will be on a high sea salt diet for 2 weeks, while Group 2
will be on a high table salt diet. He measures their blood pressure
after the two weeks. The mean systolic blood pressure for Group 1,
x¯1x¯1, is found to be 126 with...
To determine whether high blood pressure affected whether a
person had a stroke, a sample of 121 people who had had strokes are
examined. In the sample, 40% had high blood pressure. If we were to
test the hypothesis that at least 33% of the people who have had
strokes have had high blood pressure (using the 10% level of
signficance) what is the critical value? (please round your answer
to 2 decimal places)
what is high blood pressure? who is affected? what can
we do about high blood pressure? what can be done to have a healthy
life and can it be cured?
change from high blood pressure to diabetes
The blood pressure of a person changes throughout the day.
Suppose the systolic blood pressure of a person is measured 24
times over several days and the standard deviation of these
measurements for the person is known to be σ=9 σ = 9 mmHg. Let μ μ
be the true average blood pressure for that person and let x¯=96 x
¯ = 96 be the average of the 24 measurements. (a) Find a two-sided
91% confidence interval for μ.μ. One...
The blood pressure of a person changes throughout the day.
Suppose the systolic blood pressure of a person is measured 16
times over several days and the standard deviation of these
measurements for the person is known to be σ=7.9 mmHg. Let μ be the
true average blood pressure for that person and let x¯=127 be the
average of the 16 measurements.
(a) Find a two-sided 94% confidence interval for μ. One can be
94% confident that the true average...

A nutritionist is interested in the effect of eating a
vegetarian diet on blood pressure. Specifically, she is interested
in determining if vegetarians have lower systolic blood pressure
readings than omnivores. A sample of eight vegetarians and eight
omnivores were randomly selected from a normal population to
participate in the study. The systolic blood pressure levels of
each group were measured and the results are recorded in the
following table. use an alpha level of α = .05.

Frank- has high blood pressure. Blood pressure is affected by
heart rate (higher heart rate increases pressure), vasomotor tone
(more vasoconstriction increases pressure), and blood volume (we
will not consider this factor in this question)
Of the pharmaceutical (medication/drug) types listed below,
which is/are most likely to help Frank reduce his blood pressure?
For each, EXPLAIN HOW the drug would either help or harm Frank.
A drug that blocks beta-1 receptors
A drug that activates beta-2 receptors
A drug that...
Dentists make many people nervous. To see whether such
nervousness elevates blood pressure, the blood pressure and pulse
rates of 60 subjects were measured in a dental setting and in a
medical setting. For each subject, the difference (dental-setting
blood pressure minus medical-setting blood pressure) was
calculated. The analogous differences were also calculated for
pulse rates. Summary data are given below.
