Chapter 9: Q.4 (page 546)

Haemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to body tissues. People with less than 12 grams of haemoglobin per deciliter of blood (g/dl) are anaemic. A public health official in Jordan suspects that Jordanian children are at risk of anaemia. He measures a random sample of 50 children.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mean value for haemoglobin is12g/dl as per null hypothesis and the mean value is greater than12g/dl.

Step by step solution

01

introduction

Given,

Haemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to body tissues. People with less than12 grams of haemoglobin per deciliter of blood (g/dl) are anaemic.

02

explanation

calculating the null and alternative hypotheses

mean value for haemoglobin is 12g/dl as per null hypothesis

鈬�H0:渭=12

mean value for haemoglobin is greater than 12g/dl as per alternative hypothesis

鈬�Ha:渭<12

The mean value for haemoglobin is12 g/dl as per null hypothesis and the mean value is greater than 12g/dl.

The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures

students鈥� attitudes toward school and study habits. Scores range from 0 to 200. The mean score for U.S. college students is about 115. A teacher suspects that older students have better attitudes toward school. She gives the SSHA to an SRS of 45

of the over 1000 students at her college who are at least 30 years of age.

As part of its 2010 census marketing campaign, the U.S. Census Bureau advertised

鈥�10 questions, 10 minutes鈥攖hat鈥檚 all it takes.鈥� On the census form itself, we read, 鈥淭he

U.S. Census Bureau estimates that, for the average household, this form will take

about 10 minutes to complete, including the time for reviewing the instructions and

answers.鈥� We suspect that the actual time it takes to complete the form may be longer

than advertised.

The most important condition for sound conclusions from statistical inference is that

(a) the data come from a well-designed random sample or randomized experiment

(b) the population distribution be exactly Normal.

(c) the data contain no outliers.

(d) the sample size be no more than 10%of the population size.

(c) the sample size be at least 30.

Ages of presidents Joe is writing a report on the backgrounds of American presidents. He looks up the ages of all the presidents when they entered office. Because Joe took a statistics course, he uses these numbers to perform a significance test about the mean age of all U.S. presidents. Explain why this makes no sense.

A blogger claims that U.S. adults drink an average of five 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Skeptical researchers ask a random sample of 24 U.S. adults about their daily water intake. A graph of the data shows a roughly symmetric shape with no outliers. The figure below displays Minitab output for a one-sample t interval for the population mean. Is there convincing evidence at the 10%significance level that the blogger鈥檚 claim is incorrect? Use the confidence interval to justify your answer.
