[FREE SOLUTION] | 91影视

The level of lead in the blood was determined for a sample of \(152\) male hazardous-waste workers ages \(20 - 30\) and also for a sample of \(86\) female workers, resulting in a mean \(6\) standard error of \(5.5 \pm 0.3\)for the men and \(3.8 \pm 0.2\) for the women (鈥淭emporal Changes in Blood Lead Levels of Hazardous Waste Workers in New Jersey, 1984鈥1987,鈥 Environ. Monitoring and Assessment, 1993: 99鈥107). Calculate an estimate of the difference between true average blood lead levels for male and female workers in a way that provides information about reliability and precision.

Step by step solution

01

calculate the difference between average blood level male and female workers

The confidence interval for \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2}\) with a confidence level of around \(100(1 - \alpha )\% \) percent is for \(m\), \(n\)large enough.

\(\bar x - \bar y \pm {z_{\alpha /2}} \times \sqrt {\frac{{s_1^2}}{m} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{n}} \)

where \( + \) and \( - \) denote the interval's appropriate upper and lower limits. An upper/lower bound is obtained by substituting \({z_{\alpha /2}}\) with \({z_\alpha }\) and \( \pm \)with only \( + \) and \( - \).

Because both sample sizes are large enough, the confidence interval specified before can be employed. The stated information regarding the first sample is in the exercise.

\(\begin{array}{l}\bar x = 5.5\\S{E_1} = \frac{{s_1^2}}{m} = 0.{3^2}\end{array}\)

And about the second sample are

\(\begin{array}{l}\bar y = 3.8\\S{E_2} = \frac{{s_2^2}}{n} = 0.{2^2}\end{array}\)

Using confidence level of \(\alpha = 0.05\), the \( z\) value is \({z_{\alpha /2}} = {z_{0.025}} = 1.96\). The \( 95\% \)confidence interval becomes

\(\begin{array}{l}\bar x - \bar y \pm {z_{\alpha /2}} \times \sqrt {\frac{{s_1^2}}{m} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{n}} = 5.5 - 3.8 \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt {0.{3^2} + 0.{2^2}} \\ = (0.99,2.41).\end{array}\)

The genuine average blood lead level for male workers is somewhere between \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.99}}\) and greater than the average for female workers, according to \(95\) confidence.

conclusion

the final solution is

\({\rm{(0}}{\rm{.99,2}}{\rm{.41)}}\)

It is well known that a placebo, a fake medication or treatment, can sometimes have a positive effect just because patients often expect the medication or treatment to be helpful. The article "Beware the Nocebo Effect" (New York Times, Aug. 12, 2012) gave examples of a less familiar phenomenon, the tendency for patients informed of possible side effects to actually experience those side effects. The article cited a study reported in The Journal of Sexual Medicine in which a group of patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia was randomly divided into two subgroups. One subgroup of size 55 received a compound of proven efficacy along with counseling that a potential side effect of the treatment was erectile dysfunction. The other subgroup of size 52 was given the same treatment without counseling. The percentage of the no-counseling subgroup that reported one or more sexual side effects was 15.3 %, whereas 43.6 % of the counseling subgroup reported at least one sexual side effect. State and test the appropriate hypotheses at significance level .05 to decide whether the nocebo effect is operating here. (Note: The estimated expected number of "successes" in the no-counseling sample is a bit shy of 10, but not by enough to be of great concern (some sources use a less conservative cutoff of 5 rather than 10).)

The accompanying data consists of prices (\$) for one sample of California cabernet sauvignon wines that received ratings of 93 or higher in the May 2013 issue of Wine Spectator and another sample of California cabernets that received ratings of 89 or lower in the same issue.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ \ge 93:}&{100}&{100}&{60}&{135}&{195}&{195}&{}\\{}&{125}&{135}&{95}&{42}&{75}&{72}&{}\\{ \le 89:}&{80}&{75}&{75}&{85}&{75}&{35}&{85}\\{}&{65}&{45}&{100}&{28}&{38}&{50}&{28}\end{array}\)

Assume that these are both random samples of prices from the population of all wines recently reviewed that received ratings of at least 93 and at most 89 , respectively.

a. Investigate the plausibility of assuming that both sampled populations are normal.

b. Construct a comparative boxplot. What does it suggest about the difference in true average prices?

c. Calculate a confidence interval at the\(95\% \)confidence level to estimate the difference between\({\mu _1}\), the mean price in the higher rating population, and\({\mu _2}\), the mean price in the lower rating population. Is the interval consistent with the statement "Price rarely equates to quality" made by a columnist in the cited issue of the magazine?

Tensile-strength tests were carried out on two different grades of wire rod (鈥淔luidized Bed Patenting of Wire Rods,鈥 Wire J., June \(1977: 56 - 61)\), resulting in the accompanying data

Sample

Sample Mean Sample

Grade Size (kg/mm2 ) SD

\(\overline {\underline {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{ AISI 1064}&{m = 129}&{\bar x = 107.6}&{{s_1} = 1.3}\\{ AISI 1078}&{n = 129}&{\bar y = 123.6}&{{s_2} = 2.0}\\{}&{}&{}&{}\end{array}} } \)

a. Does the data provide compelling evidence for concluding that true average strength for the \(1078\) grade exceeds that for the \(1064\) grade by more than \(10kg/m{m^2}\) ? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of \(.01\).

b. Estimate the difference between true average strengths for the two grades in a way that provides information about precision and reliability

The article "Flexure of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Advanced Composite Orthogrids"\((J\). of Aerospace Engr., 1997: 7-15) gave the accompanying data on ultimate load\((kN)\)for two different types of beams.

\( - 7.0944\)

a. Assuming that the underlying distributions are normal, calculate and interpret a\(99\% \)CI for the difference between true average load for the fiberglass beams and that for the carbon beams.

b. Does the upper limit of the interval you calculated in part (a) give a\(99\% \)upper confidence bound for the difference between the two\(\mu \)'s? If not, calculate such a bound. Does it strongly suggest that true average load for the carbon beams is more than that for the fiberglass beams? Explain.

Antipsychotic drugs are widely prescribed for conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disease. The article "Cardiometabolic Risk of SecondGeneration Antipsychotic Medications During First-Time Use in Children and Adolescents"\((J\). of the Amer. Med. Assoc., 2009) reported on body composition and metabolic changes for individuals who had taken various antipsychotic drugs for short periods of time.

a. The sample of 41 individuals who had taken aripiprazole had a mean change in total cholesterol (mg/dL) of\(3.75\), and the estimated standard error\({s_D}/\sqrt n \)was\(3.878\). Calculate a confidence interval with confidence level approximately\(95\% \)for the true average increase in total cholesterol under these circumstances (the cited article included this CI).

b. The article also reported that for a sample of 36 individuals who had taken quetiapine, the sample mean cholesterol level change and estimated standard error were\(9.05\)and\(4.256\), respectively. Making any necessary assumptions about the distribution of change in cholesterol level, does the choice of significance level impact your conclusion as to whether true average cholesterol level increases? Explain. (Note: The article included a\(P\)-value.)

c. For the sample of 45 individuals who had taken olanzapine, the article reported\(99\% CI\)as a\(95\% \)CI for true average weight gain\((kg)\). What is a $\(99\% CI\)?
