Comparing Population Measures of Center and Dispersion

The HDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) of 10 males and 10 females were recorded for random samples of Americans as part of a National Center for Health Statistics survey.

1. What is the population for this survey?

2. Find the mode and the range for each data set:

           Female and Male

3. Find the 5 number summary for each data set.

For male and female:

Minimum, 1st Quartile, Median, 3rd Quartile, Maximum

4. Find the mean for each data set:

Female:_________ Male:_________

5. Find the standard deviation for each data set.

Female:_________Male:______ 6. Assuming the population standard deviations are σ = 15 mg/dL for females and σ = 12 mg/dL for males, construct the 95% confidence intervals for HDL cholesterol for each group using the data. Write a sentence that explains the correct interpretation of each confidence interval.

7. Use your confidence intervals to decide if it is possible that the population mean HDL

cholesterol is the same for females and males. Briefly explain the logic behind your decision.

For patients who have been given a diabetes test, blood-glucose readings are approximately normally distributed with mean 128 mg/dl and a standard deviation 10 mg/dl. Suppose that a sample of 4 patients will be selected and the sample mean blood-glucose level will be computed.

Enter answers rounded to three decimal places. According to the empirical rule, in 95 percent of samples the SAMPLE MEAN blood-glucose level will be between the lower-bound of _____ and the upper-bound of _____

Fat contents (in percentage) for 10 randomly selected hot dogs were given in the article "Sensory and Mechanical Assessment of the Quality of Frankfurters".

ANSWER:

Shelia's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes (high blood glucose levels during pregnancy). There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if the glucose level is above 140 milligrams per deciliter one hour after a sugary drink is ingested. Shelia's measured glucose level one hour after ingesting the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with mean 129 mg/dl and standard deviation 8 mg/dl. Let LL denote a patient's glucose level.

(a) If measurements are made on three different days, find the level LL such that there is probability only 0.05 that the mean glucose level of three test results falls above LL for Shelia's glucose level distribution. What is the value of LL?
ANSWER:

(b) If the mean result from the three tests is compared to the criterion 140 mg/dl, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes?
ANSWER:

(d) What is the probability that the mean score x¯x¯ of these students is 563 or higher?
ANSWER:

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a test required for admission to many US graduate schools. Student’s scores on the quantitative portion of the GRE follow a normal distribution with standard deviation of 8.8. Suppose a random sample of 10 students took the test, and their scores are given below:

152, 126, 146, 149, 152, 164, 139, 134, 145, 136

Use Bilingual sheet to answer this question.

A national survey of companies included a question that asked whether the company had at least one bilingual telephone operator. The sample results of 90 companies follow (Y denotes that the company does have at least one bilingual operator; N denotes that it does not).

The file Dataset_HW-3, sheet named Bilingual also contains the above survey results. Use this information to estimate with 80% confidence the proportion of the population that does have at least one bilingual operator.

Wild fruit flies have red eyes. A recessive mutation produces white-eyed individuals. A researcher wants to assess the proportion of heterozygous individuals. A heterozygous red-eyed fly can be identified through its off-spring. When crossed with a white-eyed fly it will have a mixed progeny.

A random sample of 100 red-eyed fruit flies was taken. Each was crossed with a white- eyed fly. Of the sample flies, 12 were shown to be heterozygous because they produced mixed progeny.

a) Check this data for the conditions necessary for the calculation of a large-sample confidence interval. Does it comply OR should you use the plus-four interval only?

b) Calculate the summary statistics from these data.

c) Determine a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of heterozygous flies.

d) Also use a test of significance at the 5% level to test the hypothesis that the proportion of heterozygous red-eyed flies is different to a proposed theoretical value of 17%?

e) Compare the answer from this test at the 5% level in d) to the conclusion you could make from the 95% confidence interval in c). Would you necessarily expect the same answer?

CASE STUDY CH.6

DROPBOX ASSIGNMENT

A spice manufacturer has a machine that fills bottles. The bottles are labeled 16 grams net weight so the company wants to have that much spice in each bottle. The company knows that just like any packaging process this packaging process is not perfect and that there will some variation in the amount filled. If the machine is set at exactly 16 grams and the normal distribution applies, then about half of the bottles will be underweight making the company vulnerable to bad publicity and potential lawsuits. To prevent underweight bottles, the manufacturer has set the mean a little higher than 16 grams. Based on their experience with the packaging machine, the company believes that the amount of spice in the bottle fits a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.2 grams. The company decides to set the machine to put an average 16.3 grams of spice in each bottle. Based on the above information answer the following questions:

1) What percentage of the bottles will be underweight? (5 Points)

2) The company's lawyers says that the answer obtained in question 1 is too high. They insist that no more then 4% of the bottles can be underweight and the company needs to put a little more spice in each bottle. What mean setting do they need? (5 Points)

3) The company CEO says that they do not want to give away too much free spice. She insists that the machine be set no higher than 16.2 grams (for the average) and still have only 4% underweight bottles as specified by the lawyers. This can be only accomplished by reducing the standard deviation. What standard deviation must the company achieve to meet the mandate from the CEO? (4 Points)

4) A disgruntled employee decides to set the machine to put an average 17.4 grams of spice in each bottle. What % of the bottles will be over weight (use standard deviation of 0.2 grams for this question)? (5 Points Hint: this question is similar to Question 1 but make sure you draw a diagram so as to answer this question correctly)

5) Can you think of a practical way as to how the company can reduce the standard deviation for this bottle filling process? (1 Point)
