Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 44 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that σ = 7.30 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.
(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean blood plasma volume in male firefighters. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(b) What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select
all that apply.)
the distribution of weights is normaln is largeσ is knownσ is unknownthe distribution of weights is uniform
(c) Interpret your results in the context of this problem.
99% of the intervals created using this method will contain the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters.The probability that this interval contains the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters is 0.01. The probability that this interval contains the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters is 0.99.1% of the intervals created using this method will contain the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters.
(d) Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with
maximal margin of error E = 2.00 for the mean plasma
volume in male firefighters. (Round up to the nearest whole
number.)

Researchers were interested in learning the effects of trans fats on levels of cholesterol in the blood. Two different research designs were constructed.
Part I: Between-Groups Design
In the between-groups design, researchers were interested in whether cholesterol levels would differ depending on diet. Twenty participants were randomly assigned to one of two different groups. Group A was assigned a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and with no trans fats. Group B participants were asked to follow their normal diets, which contained varying levels of trans fats depending on the individual. After one month, blood samples were drawn and the following levels of cholesterol were obtained:

Project
Scenario:
You are a journalist for a hometown newspaper. You
have received a number of phone calls and emails from readers who
are concerned about how much they are paying for gasoline. One of
the readers wrote the following:
“I
think, on average, that a driver in our town pays more for a gallon
of regular
gasoline than a driver in other towns in our state.”
Your editor asks you to investigate the gasoline
prices of four towns (similar in size to your town, town B) and
write a short article about your findings. You have gathered some
data, shown in Table 1 below. The data represents the price paid
for one gallon of regular gasoline from a random sample of gas
stations in each of the four towns.
Table 1- The retail price for one gallon of
regular gasoline at 10 randomly selected stations in four towns as
of September 1, 2017.

Writing the
Article:
- Now that you have gathered and analyzed your data,
you are ready to write your article for the
newspaper. Please be sure to make it a minimum of one full
page in length, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with
1-inch margins all around.
- You are to include at least 1 graph that best
represents your data analysis, your original table of data, and
reference to at least 3 of the questions noted above. Your article
is to be well-written and free from spelling and grammatical
mistakes. Appropriate citations should be included if you are
referencing researched data or comments made by others in your
article. Please try to make your article interesting and creative,
complete with an appropriate story headline.

Q3: Suppose that of all individuals buying a certain personal computer, 60% include a word processing program in their purchase, 40% include a spreadsheet program, and 30% include both types of programs. We are interested in knowing the inclusion of the programs.
a) Write out the sample space for the problem.
b) Find the probability that a word processing program was included given that the selected individual was included a spreadsheet program.
c) Are the vents “word processing program was included” and the event “selected individual was included a spreadsheet program” independent?

Consider the data below of inches of rainfall per month for two different regions in the Northwestern United States:
Plains Mountains
April 25.2 13.0
May 17.1 18.1
June 18.9 15.7
July 17.3 11.3
August 16.5 14.0
Using SPSS, perform a two-sample t-test for the hypothesis that there is not the same amount of rainfall in both regions in the Northwestern United States with a significance level of 0.025. What are the degrees of freedom of your test statistic?

- 2. Compute the test statistic
- 3. Based on the computed value above, draw your conclusion (show
your educated guess without the table)

According to literature on brand loyalty, consumers who are loyal to a brand are likely to consistently select the same product. This type of consistency could come from a positive childhood association. To examine brand loyalty among fans of the Chicago Cubs, 374 Cubs fans among patrons of a restaurant located in Wrigleyville were surveyed prior to a game at Wrigley Field, the Cubs' home field. The respondents were classified as "die-hard fans" or "less loyal fans." Of the 132 die-hard fans, 93.9%reported that they had watched or listened to Cubs games when they were children. Among the 242 less loyal fans, 67.8% said that they watched or listened as children. (Let D = pdie-hard − pless loyal.)
(a) Find the numbers of die-hard Cubs fans who watched or listened to games when they were children. Do the same for the less loyal fans. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
(_______ ) die-hard fans |
( _______ )less loyal fans |
(b) Use a one sided significance test to compare the die-hard fans
with the less loyal fans with respect to their childhood
experiences relative to the team. (Use your rounded values from
part (a). Use α = 0.01. Round your z-value to two
decimal places and your P-value to four decimal
places.)
z | = _______ |
P-value | = _______ |
Conclusion
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is not significant evidence that a higher proportion of die hard Cubs fans watched or listened to Cubs games as children.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is significant evidence that a higher proportion of die hard Cubs fans watched or listened to Cubs games as children.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is not significant evidence that a higher proportion of die hard Cubs fans watched or listened to Cubs games as children.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is significant evidence that a higher proportion of die hard Cubs fans watched or listened to Cubs games as children.
(c) Express the results with a 95% confidence interval for the
difference in proportions. (Round your answers to three decimal
places.)
