Chapter 1: Q19BSC (page 1)

In Exercises 17鈥�20, refer to the sample of body temperatures (degrees Fahrenheit) in the table below. (The body temperatures are from a data set in Appendix B.)

Conclusion Given the body temperatures in the table, what issue can be addressed by conducting a statistical analysis of the data.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A statistical analysis can be conducted to either obtain a correlation between the two groups or check the difference in mean values.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Five pairs of body temperatures are recorded at 8 AM and 12 AM.

02

Statistical analysis on the data

Statistical analysis is a procedure to conclude statistically from certain data. The data is paired, which means two variables record for the same subject.

In the case of paired data on a continuous scale of measurement, the simplest analysis can be conducted based on association (correlation analysis) or test for two group means.

Thecorrelation analysis is performed to check whether there is an association between the groups.

The test for two groups' means can check significant differences between the two groups in terms of their averages (or means).

03

Mention the issues that can be studied using statistical analysis

In the case of body temperatures, analyses can be conducted:

  • To examine the presence of significant differences between the means of body temperatures recorded at 8 AM and 12 AM
  • To examine whether there is any relation or (correlation) between the body temperatures recorded at 8 AM and 12 AM

Determine whether the data are from discrete data or continuous data set.

Criminal ForensicsWhen studying the relationship between lengths of feet and heights so that footprint evidence at a crime scene can be used to estimate the height of the suspect, a researcher records the exact lengths of feet from a large sample of random subjects.

Identify whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter.

Birth Genders In the same study cited in the preceding exercise, 51% of the babies were girls.

Reported versus Measured. In a survey of 1046 adults conducted by Bradley Corporation, subjects were asked how often they wash their hands when using a public restroom, and 70% of the respondents said 鈥渁lways.鈥�

a. Identify the sample and the population.

b. Why would better results be obtained by observing hand washing instead of asking about it?

In Exercises 29鈥�36, answer the given questions, which are related to percentages.

Chillax USA Today reported results from a Research Now for Keurig survey in which 1458 men and 1543 women were asked this: 鈥淚n a typical week, how often can you kick back and relax?鈥�

a. Among the women, 19% responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever.鈥� What is the exact value that is 19% of the number of women surveyed?

b. Could the result from part (a) be the actual number of women who responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever鈥�? Why or why not?

c. What is the actual number of women who responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever鈥�?

d. Among the men who responded, 219 responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever.鈥� What is the percentage of men who responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever.鈥�?

e. Consider the question that the subjects were asked. Is that question clear and unambiguous so that all respondents will interpret the question the same way? How might the survey be improved?

In Exercises 21鈥�24, refer to the data in the table below. The entries are white blood cell counts (1000 cells,ML) and red blood cell counts (million cells,ML) from male subjects examined as part of a large health study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. The data are matched, so that the first subject has a white blood cell count of 8.7 and a red blood cell count of 4.91, and so on.

Subject


12345
White8.75.97.36.25.9
Red4.915.594.444.85.17

Context Given that the data are matched and considering the units of the data, does it make sense to use the difference between each white blood cell count and the corresponding red blood cell count? Why or why not?
