patients are enrolled in the study and each patient receives both treatments.
Each participant is asked if the assigned medication causes any stomach
upset. Among the 50 participants, 12 report stomach upset with the
experimental medication. A 90% confidence interval for the proportion of
participants who might experience stomach upset with the experimental
medication is:
a. (0.14, 0.34)
b. (0.15, 0.33)
c. (0.16, 0.32)
d. None of the above

A 95% confidence interval for the mean diastolic blood pressure in
women is 62 to 110. The margin of error is:
a. 12
b. 24
c. 86
d. None of the above

Recent recommendations suggest 60 minutes of physical activity per
day. A sample of 50 adults in a study of cardiovascular risk factors report
exercising a mean of 38 minutes per day with a standard deviation of 19
minutes. Based on the sample data, is the physical activity significantly less
than recommended? Run the appropriate test at a 1% level of significance.
a. Yes, since our decision rule is reject H0 if z < -2.33 and our calculated z
statistic is -8.19
b. Yes, since our decision rule is reject H0 if z < -1.96 and our calculated z
statistic is -8.19
c. Yes, since our decision rule is reject H0 if z < -1.645 and our calculated z
statistic is -8.19
d. Yes, since our decision rule is reject H0 if z < -1.28 and our calculated z
statistic is -8.19

The mean body mass index (BMI) for boys age 12 is 23.6. An
investigator wants to test if the BMI is different in 12-year-old boys living in
New York City. How many boys are needed to ensure that a two-sided test of
hypothesis has 90% power to detect a difference in BMI of 2 units? Assume
that the standard deviation in BMI is 5.7. Assume = 0.01.
