The systolic blood pressure of 16 students was measured before a test. The blood pressure from this sample averaged 165, with a standard deviation of 40. a) Compute the approximate 95% confidence interval for mean systolic blood pressure, and make a sketch illustrating these confidence intervals b) If a mean blood pressure above 130 is considered “stressed”, what do your calculations show regarding the probability that the observed mean is above the “stressed” level.

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. Mean Difference Standard Deviation of Differences Systolic Blood Pressure   4.43 8.77 Pulse (beats/min) −1.30 8.84 (a) Do the data...
