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 would be the proper set of hypotheses?

Group of answer choices

A. H0: μ = 139, H1: μ ≠ 139
B. H0: μ = 140, H1: μ < 140
C. H0: μ = 140, H1: μ ≠ 140
D. H0: μ = 139, H1: μ < 139

Answer:

Option B)

H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Hypothesis:

The doctors and u=instructor claims that practicing yoga reduces blood pressure and hence is beneficial to people.

Population mean, μ =  140 mm

Sample mean, \bar{x} =  139 mm

Sample size, n = 51

Sample standard deviation, s = 5 mm

Thus, we can design the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis as

H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}

The null hypothesis states that the population have a blood pressure of 140 mm. The alternate hypothesis states that yoga reduces the blood pressure and the sample has a blood pressure less than 140 mm.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option B)

H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}

Use the given information to draw a box-and-whisker plot of the data set
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The box-and-whisker plot of this distribution is presented in the attached image to this solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A box plot gives a visual representation of the distribution of the data, showing where most values lie and those values that greatly differ from the rest, called outliers.

A box and whiskers plot shows 5 major information about the distribution of data. It shows:

- The maximum variable.

- The minimum variable.

- The Median.

- The first quartile.

- The third quartile.

Further info such as the range and Inter quartile range can then be obtained from this 5-number summary.

The elements of the box plot are described thus;

The bottom side of the box represents the first quartile, and the top side, the third quartile. Therefore, the width of the central box represents the inter-quartile range.

The horizontal line inside the box is the median.

The lines extending from the box reach out to the minimum and the maximum values in the data set, as long as these values are not outliers. The ends of the whiskers are marked by two shorter horizontal lines.

Variables in the dataset, higher than Q3+(1.5×IQR) or lower than Q1-(1.5×IQR) are considered outliers and are usually shown using dots above the top whisker or below the bottom whisker.

The required boxplot for this question is given in the attached image to this solution.

The median for the boxplot isn't provided, but it was assumed to be midway between the first and third quartile.

Hope this Helps!!!

Your friend attempted to factor an expression as shown. Find the error in your friends work. Then factor the expression correctl
loris [4]

Answer:

Third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

2x^2-7x+5

We need to find the factored form of this expression.

Step 1: Given

2x^2-7x+5

Step 2: Splitting the middle term method, the middle term can be written as (-5x-2x).

2x^2-5x-2x+5

(2x^2-5x)+(-2x+5)

Step 3: Taking out common factors from each parenthesis.

x(2x-5)-1(2x-5)

Step 4: Taking out common factors.

(x-1)(2x-5)

Therefore, the third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).
