Chapter 1: Q21BSC (page 1)

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.

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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, it does not make sense to obtain the difference between the white and red blood cell counts.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Five paired observations were recorded from five subjects for the study. The values of white and red blood cell counts were obtained from each of the subjects.

02

Matched data

A matched data records multiple information from one experimental unit. In this study, white and red blood cell counts belong to the same subject.

03

Meaningfulness of the study

A study is meaningful or makes sense if it can be used for some practical benefit.

In other words, if the result is projected onto the population, it could be used for some purpose.

Evaluating the difference between the red and white blood cell counts is of no practical use in the study. Establishing the differences between the counts will not be helpful to the population.

Thus, the study for the differences between the counts of the two types of blood cells does not make any sense.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Simple Random Sample vs. Random Sample Refer to the definition of simple random sample on page 27 and its accompanying definition of random sample enclosed within parentheses.

Determine whether each of the following is a simple random sample and a random sample.

  1. A statistics class with 36 students is arranged so that there are 6 rows with 6 students in each row, and the rows are numbered from 1 through 6. A die is rolled and a sample consists of all students in the row corresponding to the outcome of the die.

b. For the same class described in part (a), the 36 student names are written on 36 individual index cards. The cards are shuffled and six names are drawn from the top.

c. For the same class described in part (a), the six youngest students are selected.

Discrete/ Continuous Data Which of the following describe discrete data?

a. The numbers of people surveyed in each of the next several years for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.

b. The exact foot lengths (measured in cm) of a random sample of statistics students.

c. The exact times that randomly selected drivers spend texting while driving during the past 7 days.

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.)

Context of the Data: Refer to the table of body temperatures. Is there some meaningful way in which each body temperature recorded at 8 AM is matched with the 12 AM temperature?

California, Connecticut, and New York are states with laws requiring that cars have license plates on the front and rear. The author randomly selected cars in those states, and the results are given in the accompanying table. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim of independence between the state and whether a car has front and rear license plates. Does it appear that the license plate laws are followed at the same rates in the three states?
