If the unknown sample was tested to have above normal levels of bilirubin (it tested to have high bilirubin levels), what other biochemistry tests should be performed? Justify your answers.

Expert Solution

If bilirubin levels are high in a blood sample then the other tests that should be performed is CBC or specifically Haemoglobin levels to find the count of the red blood cells because excessive breakdown of RBC leads to excessive bilirubin levels.Also liver function tests must be performed to identify the functioning of the liver.Any diseases of liver also leads to such abnormal bilirubin levels in the blood.Excessive alcoholism ,viral hepatitis are also one of the causes for high bilirubin levels.CT Scan and MRI to detect gall stones and a liver biopsy to detect the tissues for any cancerous growth.

For this question assume that we have a random sample from a normal distribution with unknown mean but known variance. (a) Suppose that we have 36 observations, the sample mean is 5, and the population variance is 9. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (b) Repeat the preceding with a population variance of 25 rather than 9. (c) Repeat the preceding with a sample size of 25 rather than 36. (d) Repeat the preceding but construct a...

A sample of n = 15 observations is taken from a normal population with unknown mean and variance. The sample has a mean of ¯x = 88.1 and standard deviation 14.29. The researcher hypothesizes that (a) the population has a mean of 90 and (b) the population has a variance of 300. Using confidence intervals, determine the validity of the researcher’s hypotheses at an overall confidence level of 95% assuming the two confidence intervals are independent. That is, recalling that...
