Reliance on solid biomass fuel for cooking and heating exposes many children from developing countries to high levels of indoor air pollution. The article 鈥淒omestic Fuels, Indoor Air Pollution, and Children鈥檚 Health鈥 (Annals of the N.Y. Academy of Sciences, \(2008:209 - 217\)) presented information on various pulmonary characteristics in samples of children whose households in India used either biomass fuel or liquefied petroleum gas (\(LPG\)). For the \(755\) children in biomass households, the sample mean peak expiratory flow (a person鈥檚 maximum speed of expiration) was \(3.30L/s\), and the sample standard deviation was \(1.20\). For the \(750\) children whose households used liquefied petroleum gas, the sample mean \(PEF\) was \(4.25\) and the sample standard deviation was \(1.75\).

a. Calculate a confidence interval at the \(95\% \) confidence level for the population mean \(PEF\) for children in biomass households and then do likewise for children in \(LPG\) households. What is the simultaneous confidence level for the two intervals?

b. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level \(.01\) to decide whether true average \(PEF\) is lower for children in biomass households than it is for children in \(LPG\) households (the cited article included a P-value for this test)

c. \(FE{V_1}\), the forced expiratory volume in \(1\) second, is another measure of pulmonary function. The cited article reported that for the biomass households the sample mean FEV1 was \(2.3L/s\) and the sample standard deviation was \(.5L/s\). If this information is used to compute a \(95\% \) \(CI\) for population mean \(FE{V_1}\), would the simultaneous confidence level for this interval and the first interval calculated in (a) be the same as the simultaneous confidence level determined there? Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified

the solution is

a)

\(\begin{array}{l}(3.2144,3.3856);\\(4.1248,4.3752);\\0.0975\end{array}\)

b) There is sufficient data to support the hypothesis that children in biomass households have a lower true average PEF than children in LPG households.

c) no

Step by step solution

01

calculate a confidence interval

a)The sample mean was for the \({n_1} = 755\) children in the biomass family.

\({\bar x_1} = 3.30\)

The standard deviation of the sample was.

\({s_1} = 1.2\)

The sample mean was for \({n_2} = 750\) children whose families used liquefied petroleum gas.

\({\bar x_2} = 4.25\)

The standard deviation of the sample was

\({s_2} = 1.75\)

The standardized random variable, which is huge \(n\).

\(Z = \frac{{\bar X - \mu }}{{S/\sqrt n }}\)

With an expectation of \(0\) and a standard deviation of \(1\), the distribution is roughly normal. as a result,

Confidence interval for \(\mu \) based on a high sample size.

\(\bar x \pm {z_{\alpha /2}} \times \frac{s}{{\sqrt n }}100(1 - \alpha )\% .\)

with a \(100(1 - \alpha )\% \) confidence level Regardless of population distribution, this remains the case.

02

find confidence level

biomass household sample:

Because \({n_1} = 755\) is large enough \(( \ge 30)\), the \(95\% \)confidence interval for the population mean may be calculated using the procedure above. \(100(1 - \alpha ) = 95,\alpha = 0.05 and {z_{\alpha /2}} = {z_{0.025}} = 1.96\) (from the table in the appendix). As a result, the mean's \(CI\) value is.

\(\left( {3.3 - 1.96 \times \frac{{1.2}}{{\sqrt {755} }},3.3 + 1.96 \times \frac{{1.2}}{{\sqrt {755} }}} \right) = (3.2144,3.3856)\)

LPG sample

Because \({n_2} = 750\) is large enough \(( \ge 30)\), the \(95\% \) confidence interval for the population mean may be calculated using the procedure above. \(100(1 - \alpha ) = 95,\alpha = 0.05 and {z_{\alpha /2}} = {z_{0.025}} = 1.96\) (from the table in the appendix). As a result, the mean's \(CI\) value is.

\(\left( {4.25 - 1.96 \times \frac{{1.75}}{{\sqrt {750} }},4.25 + 1.96 \times \frac{{1.75}}{{\sqrt {750} }}} \right) = (4.1248,4.3752)\)

Simultaneous confidence level:

\(P\)( at least one type \(I\) error committed) \( = 1 - P\)(no type \(I\)errors committed)

\( = 1 - P\)( no type \(I\) error in first ). \(P\)(no type \(I\) error committed)

\(\begin{array}{l} = 1 - 0.95 \times 0.95 = 1 - 0.9025\\ = 0.0975\end{array}\)

03

determine value of test static

b) given

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\bar x}_1} = 3.30\\{{\bar x}_2} = 4.25\\{s_1} = 1.20\\{s_2} = 1.75\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}{n_1} = 755\\{n_2} = 750\\\alpha = 0.01\end{array}\)

We can employ the \(z\)-test because the samples are huge \((n \ge 30)\). (instead of a t-test).

Lower, as stated.

Either the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis is asserted. The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis are diametrically opposed. An equality must be included in the null hypothesis.

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:{\mu _1} = {\mu _2}\\{H_a}:{\mu _1} < {\mu _2}\end{array}\)

Determine the value of the test statistic:

\(z = \frac{{{{\bar x}_1} - {{\bar x}_2}}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{s_1^2}}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{{{n_2}}}} }} = \frac{{3.30 - 4.25}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{1.2{0^2}}}{{755}} + \frac{{1.7{5^2}}}{{750}}} }} \approx - 12.27\)

If the null hypothesis is true, the P-value is the probability of getting a result more extreme or equal to the standardised test statistic \(z\). Using the normal probability table, determine the probability.

\(P = P(Z < - 12.27) \approx 0\)

The null hypothesis is rejected if the P-value is less than the alpha significance level.

There is sufficient data to support the conclusion that the genuine average PEF for children in biomass families is lower than for children in non-biomass households.

04

explain confidence level

There is sufficient data to support the hypothesis that children in biomass households have a lower true average PEF than children in LPG households.

c)

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\bar x}_1} = 3.30\\{{\bar x}_2} = 4.25\\{s_1} = 1.20\\{s_2} = 1.75\\{n_1} = 755\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}{n_2} = 750\\c = 95\% = 0.95\\\bar x = 2.3\\s = 0.5\end{array}\)

The simultaneous confidence interval will be different from the simultaneous confidence interval in part (a), because this simultaneous confidence interval will only be for biomass households, whereas the simultaneous confidence interval in part (a) will be for both biomass and LPG households.

Because the sample mean and standard deviation differ from those of the other two samples, the values of the confidence intervals cannot be the same.

05

conclusion

a)

\(\begin{array}{l}(3.2144,3.3856);\\(4.1248,4.3752);\\0.0975\end{array}\)

b)

There is sufficient data to support the hypothesis that children in biomass households have a lower true average PEF than children in LPG households.

c) no

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?

Lactation promotes a temporary loss of bone mass to provide adequate amounts of calcium for milk production. The paper "Bone Mass Is Recovered from Lactation to Postweaning in Adolescent Mothers with Low Calcium Intakes" (Amer. J. of Clinical Nutr., 2004: 1322-1326) gave the following data on total body bone mineral content (TBBMC) (g) for a sample both during lactation (L) and in the postweaning period (P).

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{Subject}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}\\1&2&3&4&5&6&7&8&9&{10}\\{1928}&{2549}&{2825}&{1924}&{1628}&{2175}&{2114}&{2621}&{1843}&{2541}\\{2126}&{2885}&{2895}&{1942}&{1750}&{2184}&{2164}&{2626}&{2006}&{2627}\end{array}\)

a. Does the data suggest that true average total body bone mineral content during postweaning exceeds that during lactation by more than\(25\;g\)? State and test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of .05. (Note: The appropriate normal probability plot shows some curvature but not enough to cast substantial doubt on a normality assumption.)

b. Calculate an upper confidence bound using a\(95\% \)confidence level for the true average difference between TBBMC during postweaning and during lactation.

c. Does the (incorrect) use of the two-sample\(t\)test to test the hypotheses suggested in (a) lead to the same

Refer to Exercise\(34.\)Describe the pooled\(t\)test for testing\({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = {\Delta _0}\)when both population distributions are normal with\({\sigma _1} = {\sigma _2}\). Then use this test procedure to test the hypotheses suggested in Exercise\(33\)

As the population ages, there is increasing concern about accident-related injuries to the elderly. The article "Age and Gender Differences in Single-Step Recovery from a Forward Fall" (J. of Gerontology, \(1999: M44 - M50\)) reported on an experiment in which the maximum lean angle-the farthest a subject is able to lean and still recover in one step-was determined for both a sample of younger females (\(21 - 29\)years) and a sample of older females (\(67 - 81\)years). The following observations are consistent with summary data given in the article:

YF:\(29,34,33,27,28,32,31,34,32,27\)

OF:\(18,15,23,13,12\)

Does the data suggest that true average maximum lean angle for older females is more than\(10\)degrees smaller than it is for younger females? State and test the relevant hypotheses at significance level . \(10\).

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 $\(99\% CI\)?
