2.A physical therapist wished to estimate, with 99 percent confidence, the mean maximal strength
of a particular muscle in a certain group of individuals. He is willing to assume that strength
scores are approximately normally distributed with a variance of 144. A sample of 15 subjects
who participated in the experiment yielded a mean of 84.3. Calculate the confidence intervals.

8.To determine how symptom recognition and perception influence clinical presentation as a
function of race. They characterized symptoms and care-seeking behavior in African-American
patients with chest pain seen in the emergency department. One of the presenting vital signs was
systolic blood pressure. Among 157 African-American men, the mean systolic blood pressure was
146 mm Hg with a standard deviation of 27. We wish to know if, on the basis of these data, we may
conclude that the mean systolic blood pressure for a population of African-American men is greater
than 140. Alpha = .05 (critical value: 1.645)

11.Author studied the effects of reminiscence therapy for older women with depression. She
studied 15 women 60 years or older residing for 3 months or longer in an assisted living long-
term care facility. For this study, depression was measured by the Geriatric Depression Scale
(GDS). Higher scores indicate more severe depression symptoms. The participants received
reminiscence therapy for long-term care, which uses family photographs, scrapbooks, and
personal memorabilia to stimulate memory and conversation among group members. Pre-
treatment and posttreatment depression scores are given in the following table. Can we conclude,
based on these data, that subjects who participate in reminiscence therapy experience, on
average, a decline in GDS depression scores? Let .(critical value:1.7613)

14.Sternal surgical site infection (SSI) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a
complication
that increases patient morbidity and costs for patients, payers, and the health care
system. Segal and Anderson (A-5) performed a study that examined two types of
preoperative skin preparation before performing open heart surgery. These two
preparations used aqueous iodine and insoluble iodine with the following results.
Aqueous iodine 14 94
Insoluble iodine 4 97
Do these data provide sufficient evidence at the level to justify the conclusion that the
type of skin preparation and infection are related? ( critical value:5.991)
