  1. In the 1999-2000 NHANES report, the reported cancer rate for women subjects age 65 and older is 14%. Using this estimate as the true percentage of all females ages 65and over who have been told by a health care provider that they have cancer, find the probability that if 210 women are selected at random from the population, more than 20% will have been told they have cancer.
  2. In the same report, the cancer rate for men ages 65 and older is 23%. Use this estimate as the percentage of all men ages 65 and older who have been told by a health care provider that they have cancer. Find the probability that among 250 men selected at random that fewer than 20% will have been told they have cancer.
  3. Find the probability that the male cancer rate is at least 3% higher than the female cancer rate in the two samples given above.

An NHANES report gives data for 654 women aged 20 to 29 years. The mean BMI for these 654 women was x = 26.8. On the basis of this sample, we are going to estimate the mean    BMI μ in the population of all 20.6 million women in this age group. We will assume that the NHANES sample is a SRS from a normal distribution with known standard deviation σ = 7.5 Construct three confidence intervals for the mean BMI...

An NHANES report gives data for 654 women aged 20 to 29 years. The mean BMI of these 654 women was 26.8. On the basis of the sample, estimate the mean BMI in the population of all 20.6 million women in the age group. Let us assume that the sample is from a normal population with standard deviation of 7.5. a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for mean BMI of all women b) Construct both a 90% and 99% confidence...

The USDA is concerned that most farmers are older Americans. In 2000, it was reported that 25% of all US farmers were over the age of 65. In 2020, a random sample of 350 US farmers was taken and it was found that 98 were over the age of 65. The USDA claims that the proportion of all farmers who are over the age of 65 is now greater than 25%. Does this provide evidence to support the USDA’s claim...

16. An epidemiologic study of breast cancer among elderly women followed 1,000 women, 65-79 years of age, without evidence of breast cancer over several years. Every two years the investigators examined the women for breast cancer. The results were as follows: 12 new cases at the first evaluation, 11 new cases at the second evaluation, 23 new cases at the third evaluation, and 28 new cases at the fourth (and final) evaluation. The investigators also noted that 40 women had...

In 1990, the mean height of women 20 years of age or older was 63.7 inches based on data obtained from the CDC. Suppose that a random sample of 45 women who are 20 years of age or older in 2015 results in a mean height of 63.9 inches with a standard deviation of 0.5 inch. Does your sample provide sufficient evidence that women today are taller than in 1990? Perform the appropriate test at the 0.05 level of significance....

Some studies suggest that women have their first baby at age 35 or older are at increased risk of having a baby with low birth weight. A researcher chose a random sample of 125 women age 35 or older who were pregnant with their first child and followed them through the pregnancy. The mean weight of the 125 newborns was 3111.4 grams with a standard deviation of 501.3 grams. Is there evidence to suggest low birth weight for newborns who...

In 2000, 58% of females aged 15 years of age and older lived alone, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is decreased today by conducting a random sample of 500 females aged 15 years of age and older and finds that 280 are living alone. Is there sufficient evidence at the α=0.05 level of significance to conclude the proportion has decreased since 2000? If a random sample of 30 females aged 15 years of...
