The average systolic blood pressure was found to be 140 mm for people who have high responsibility jobs, specifically investment

banking jobs. Heart attack is the leading cause of death in the US, and the American Medical Association (AMA) deems average systolic blood pressure of 140 mm as very high. The fitness instructors and AMA doctors recommend practicing Yoga. They believe that practicing yoga reduces blood pressure and hence is beneficial to people. To test this claim, a sample of 51 investment bankers who had previously been diagnosed with high blood pressure was chosen. Participants were trained and completed yoga exercises for six months. At the end of the six months, the average blood pressure for the sample was 139 mm with a standard deviation of 5 mm. What is the actual (i.e. calculated) value of the test statistic?

Answer:

t = -1.428

Step-by-step explanation:

Average blood pressure among people with high responsibility jobs = u = 140 mm

Number of people sampled for the study = n = 51

Average blood pressure of the sample = x = 139 mm

Standard deviation of the sample = s = 5 mm

The claim is that practicing yoga decreases the blood pressure. So we have to test that after practicing yoga, the average blood pressure will be lesser than 140. Based on this we can formulate the null and alternate hypothesis as:

Null Hypothesis: \mu \geq 140

Alternate Hypothesis: \mu < 140

Since population standard deviation is not known, we cannot use z-distribution for this test. We are given the value of sample standard deviation, so t-test will be used for this case.

Test statistic is calculated as:

t=\frac{x-u}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }

Using the values in this formula gives us:

t=\frac{139-140}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{51}}}\\\\ t=-1.428

Therefore, the value of test statistic is -1.428

Please see the figure. We'll first work out half the area of the rounded triangle, half the unshaded part, then double it, then subtract it from the big square.

Half the area is the circular sector PTQ (with center P, arc TQ) minus the right triangle PUT.

A/2 = area(sector PTQ) - area(triangle PUT)

The triangle is half of equilateral triangle PQT, so a 30/60/90 right triangle so we know the sides are in ratio 1:√3:2 so

TU = (7/2)√3

area(PUT) = (1/2) (7/2)(7/2)√3 = (49/8)√3

area(sector PTQ) = (angle TQP / 360°) πr^2

We know angle TQP is 60° because TQP is equilateral.  r=7.

area(sector PTQ) = (60°/360°) π (7²) = 49π/6

Putting it together,

A/2 = area(sector PTQ) - area(triangle PUT)

A = 2(49π/6 -  (49/8)√3)

A = 49(π/3 - √3/4) square cm

I hate ruining a nice exact answer with an approximation, but they seem to be asking.

A ≈ 30.095057615914535

Check:

I'm not sure how to check it.  I'd estimate it's about 25% bigger than equilateral triangle PQT with area (√3/4)7² ≈ 21.2, so around 27. 30 seems reasonable.

Now the real area we seek is the big square PQRS minus A, so

area = 7² - 30.095057615914535 = 18.904942384086 sq cm

They want square meters for some reason; we scale by (1/100)²

Answer: 0.00189 square meters

Julli [10]

Answer:

0.071,1.928

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                Downtown Store   North Mall Store

Sample size   n                             25                        20

Sample mean \bar{x}                         $9                        $8

Sample standard deviation  s       $2                        $1

n_1=25\\n_2=20

\bar{x_1}=9\\ \bar{x_2}=8

s_1=2\\s_2=1

x_1-x_2=9-8=1

Standard error of difference of means = \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}

Standard error of difference of means = \sqrt{\frac{2^2}{25}+\frac{1^2}{20}}

Standard error of difference of means = 0.458

Degree of freedom = \frac{\sqrt{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}})^2}{\frac{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1})^2}{n_1-1}+\frac{(\frac{s_2^2}{n_2})^2}{n_2-1}}

Degree of freedom = \frac{\sqrt{(\frac{2^2}{25}+\frac{1^2}{20}})^2}{\frac{(\frac{2^2}{25})^2}{25-1}+\frac{(\frac{1^2}{20})^2}{20-1}}

Degree of freedom =36

So, z value at 95% confidence interval and 36 degree of freedom = 2.0280

Confidence interval = (x_1-x_2)-z \times SE(x_1-x_2),(x_1-x_2)+z \times SE(x_1-x_2)

Confidence interval = 1-(2.0280)\times 0.458,1+(2.0280)\times 0.458

Confidence interval = 0.071,1.928

Hence Option A is true

Confidence interval is  0.071,1.928
