A researcher has collected the blood samples of 30 individuals and found that the mean hemoglobin concentration for the sample of individuals is 13.9 grams per deciliter and the standard deviation is 1.43 grams per deciliter. Calculate a 99.0% confidence interval for the mean hemoglobin concentration for the population. [1] (10.22, 17.58) [2] (13.17, 14.63) [3] (13.18, 14.62) [4] (13.23, 14.57)

1.A researcher collects a sample of 30 individuals who have a mean age of 34.6, a median age of 41.5, and a modal age of 44. Make one observation regarding the nature of the distribution of data that the researcher collected.  What would be the best measure of central tendency to use in describing a distribution of this form?  Whydid you choose the measure of central tendency that you did? 2.A statistician computes a 95% confidence interval for the number of prior...

A researcher has collected a sample of 25 respondents and the mean was calculated as 500. The sample was randomly drawn from a normal population whose standard deviation is 15. a) Estimate the population mean with 99% confidence b) Repeat the part (a) changing the population standard deviation to 30. c) Repeat the part (a) changing the population standard deviation to 60. d) Describe what happens to the confidence interval estimate when the standard deviation is increased.

One hundred blood samples were taken from 100 individuals. All of the blood samples were run through two machines to determine if the machines were testing samples appropriately. We expect that both machines should yield similar results. Below are the results of the analysis. Assume there are 100 sample and they are normal. Are the two machines similar? Should we check into whether one machine should be replaced? Show all of your work. Beckman Machine Coulter Machine 3. 4. 5....

A medical researcher maintains that the mean hemoglobin reading of surgical patients is different from 12 grams per deciliter. He randomly selects nine surgical patients and obtains the following data: 8.8 12.5 10.3 12.0 14.6 9.1 9.9 13.0 14.6 Is this a one or two-tailed test? What confidence interval would correspond to a 0.01 level of significance in a hypothesis test? Compute the confidence interval and make a decision. Justify your decision. Compute the p-value using a t-Test for: H0:μ=12H0:μ=12...
