Question

Question 6

A medical researcher is studying the effects of a drug on blood pressure. Subjects in the study have their blood pressure taken at the beginning of the study. After being on the medication for 4 weeks, their blood pressure is taken again. The change in blood pressure is recorded and used in doing the hypothesis test.

Change: Final Blood Pressure - Initial Blood Pressure

The researcher wants to know if there is evidence that the drug increases blood pressure. At the end of 4 weeks, 31 subjects in the study had an average change in blood pressure of 2.9 with a standard deviation of 5.3.

Find the p-value for the hypothesis test

Your answer should be rounded to 4 decimal places.

Question 7

Find the p-value for the hypothesis test. A random sample of size 54 is taken. The sample has a mean of 426 and a standard deviation of 82.

H0: µ = 400

Ha: µ > 400

The p-value for the hypothesis test is

Your answer should be rounded to 4 decimal places.

Question 8

Child Health and Development Studies (CHDS) has been collecting data about expectant mothers in Oakland, CA since 1959. One of the measurements taken by CHDS is the weight increase (in pounds) for expectant mothers in the second trimester. In a fictitious study, suppose that CHDS finds the average weight increase in the second trimester is 14 pounds.

Suppose also that, in 2015, a random sample of 37 expectant mothers have mean weight increase of 16.0 pounds in the second trimester, with a standard deviation of 6.1 pounds.

A hypothesis test is done to see if there is evidence that weight increase in the second trimester is greater than 14 pounds.

Find the p-value for the hypothesis test.

The p-value should be rounded to 4 decimal places.
