Many young men in North America and Europe (but not in Asia) tend to think they need more muscle to be attractive. One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms of fat‑free body mass per square meter of body surface area (kg/m2). Typical young men have about 20 kg/m2.. Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self‑image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m2.. Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m2.. If young men thought that their own level of muscle was about what women prefer, the mean "muscle gap" in the study would be 0. We suspect (before seeing the data) that (most) young men tend to think women prefer more muscle than they themselves have. What is the value of the test…
The Research Unit for Cecilion Supermart conducted an experiment to estimate the strength of the carrier bag from the starch-based biofilms made from two different jicamas (sengkuang) of type A and type B. However, the researcher claims that jicama type A produces more strength compared to type B. To support this claim, 10kg weight item was put into 100 carrier bags made from jicama type A and 200 carrier bags made from jicama type B were randomly selected. As a result, 8 bags from jicama type A burst while 12 bags from jicama type B burst. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in true proportion of the carrier bags which burst between jicama type A and type B. Give comment on the parameter estimate.

In an experimental study, it was noticed that people who eat more leafy, green vegetables tend to get better sleep than the general population. Researchers wonder whether the improved sleep might be caused by the minerals potassium and magnesium found in leafy, green vegetables. How could the researchers design an experiment to determine the effects of potassium and magnesium on sleep?
A study was conducted that measured the total brain volume (TBV) (in ) of patients that had schizophrenia and patients that are considered normal. Table #9.3.5 contains the TBV of the normal patients and table #9.3.6 contains the TBV of schizophrenia patients ("SOCR data oct2009," 2013). Is there enough evidence to show that the patients with schizophrenia have less TBV on average than a patient that is considered normal? Test at the 10% level.

Many young men in North America and Europe (but not in Asia) tend to think they need more muscle to be attractive. One study presented 196 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter (kg/m2) of fat-free body mass. Typical young men have about 20 kg/m2. Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented “what women prefer.” The mean gap between self image and “what women prefer” was 2.35 kg/m2. Suppose that the muscle gap in the population of all young men has a normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m2. a) State the value that will be used to estimate the unknown population mean. b)What is the critical z value for a 95 percent confidence interval for the mean amount of muscle young men think they should add to be attractive to women.

A medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y) Generally, the systolic blood pressure depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 125 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function: Y= 15.50 + 0..90B+1.15A. (0.55) (0 40) The test statistic of the study the student wants to conduct (Ho: B, = 0 vs. H, B, #0), keeping other variables constant is. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) At the 5% significance level, the student will ▼ the null hypothesis. Keeping BMIl constant, she now wants to test whether the age of a person (A) has no significant effect or a positive effect on the person's systolic blood pressure. So, the test statistic associated with the one-sided test the…
A chocolate manufacturing plant produces chocolate coated macadamia nuts. One specific batch of chocolates weighed an average of 4.52 g for each piece. It was found out that the macadamia nuts used in the batch had three total defects wherein 26.07 % had only three fourths a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.65 g for each piece, 19.38 % had only one half of a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.38 g for each piece, and 23.78 % had only one fourth of a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.04 g for each piece. Assuming that the amount of chocolate coating for each chocolate in the specific batch is constant and each whole macadamia nut weighs the same, calculate the weight of each piece of chocolate having a whole macadamia nut. Show your solutions in the next item Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
There have been many studies recently concerning coffee drinking and cholesterol level. While it is known that several coffee-bean components can elevate blood cholesterol level, it is thought that a new type of paper coffee filter may reduce the presence of some of these components in coffee. The effect of the new filter on cholesterol level will be studied over a 10-week period using 300 nonsmokers who each drink 4 cups of caffeinated coffee per day. Each of these 300 participants will be assigned to one of two groups: the experimental group, who will only drink coffee that has been made with the new filter, or the control group, who will only drink coffee that has been made with the standard filter. Each participant’s cholesterol level will be measured at the beginning and at the end of the study. Describe an appropriate method for assigning the subjects to the two groups so that each group will have an equal number of subjects. In this study, the researchers chose to include a…

It was found out that the macadamia nuts used in the batch had three total defects wherein 26.99 % had only three fourths a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.57 g for each piece, 17.88 % had only one half of a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.23 g for each piece, and 19.98 % had only one fourth of a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.09 g for each piece. Assuming that the amount of chocolate coating for each chocolate in the specific batch is constant and each whole macadamia nut weighs the same, calculate the weight of each piece of chocolate having a whole macadamia nut.
