A study by Bechtel et al., 2009, described in the Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health considered polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and immune system function in beef cattle. Some cattle were near major oil- and gas-producing areas of western Canada. The mean monthly exposure to PM1.0 (particulate matter that is <1μm in diameter) was approximately 7.2 μg/m3 with standard deviation 1.5. Assume that the monthly exposure is normally distributed.

a. What is the probability of a monthly exposure greater than 9 μg/m3?

b. What is the probability of a monthly exposure between 3 and 5 μg/m3?

c. What is the monthly exposure level that is exceeded with probability 0.05? d. What value of mean monthly exp

A study published in 2009 (Goldstein et al, 2009) asked a random selection of 499 adults from various regions in Israel to complete a survey about whether or not they read while using the toilet. The researchers conducted a test of Ho: pi = 0.5 versus Ha: pi ≠ 0.5 where pi is the proportion of adults who read while using the toilet. Use a theory-based method to find the rejection region of the test using a significance level of...

2) The purpose of a study by Tem et al (A-15) was to investigate the wheelchair maneuvering in individuals with lower-level spinal cord injury (SCI) and health controls. Subject used a modified wheelchair to incoporate a rigid seat surface to facilitate the specified experimental measurements.Interface pressure measurement was recorded by using a high -resolution pressure-sensitive mat with a spatial resolution of 4 sensors per square centimeter taped on the rigid seat support. During static sitting conditions, average pressures were recorded...

The objectives of a study by Skjelbo et al. were to examine (a) the relationship between Chloroguanide metabolism and efficacy in malaria prophylaxis and (b) the mephenytoin metabolism and its relationship to chloroguanide metabolism among Tanzanians. From information provided by urine specimens from the 216 subjects, the investigators computed the ratio of unchanged S-mephenytoin to R-mephenytoin (S/R ratio). The results were as follows: 0.0269 0.0400 0.0550 0.0550 0.0650 0.0670 0.0700 0.0720 0.0760 0.0850 0.0870 0.0870 0.0880 0.0900 0.0900 0.0990 0.0990...
