Consider the following scenario: At age 63, Ms. Breene lived a sedentary life as a clerk in a small insurance company. She would joke that, since her dog died, her only exercise was walking back and forth to her car. She had talked with friends about joining the local health club, and it was on her to-do list, perhaps when she retired in a couple of years. Shortly before lunch one morning, someone at work found Ms. Breene at her desk in a confused and unresponsive state. A colleague drove her to the emergency room, where elevated cardiac markers and EKG changes showed that Ms. Breene had suffered a myocardial infarction.

The ER doctor prescribed oxygen by mask,

Anticoagulants,

a thrombolytic,

analgesics,

and a bronchodilator.

Many of the other insurers express concern to the insurance commissioner that these rates are too low.

.As a political scientist, you are interested in evaluating the average number of campaign stops
that Senate candidates make per week during the general election campaign. Previous research
on the subject suggests that the average number of campaign stops per weeks is equal to 26
(conventional wisdom). You are interested in testing this against the possibility that this is not
the parameter value (two-tailed test). You collect a sample of n = 20 candidates, and find a
sample mean of 32 with a sample standard deviation of 10. Use significance level α = 0:05, and
clearly state the hypotheses, the test statistic, the p-value, and your conclusion (in complete, plain
language sentences). Confirm your results by constructing a 95% confidence interval, and
explain how this confidence interval offers confirmation of your hypothesis test.
