Chapter 10, Problem 42SE
The critical flicker frequency (cff) is the highest frequency (in cycles/sec) at which a person can detect the flicker in a flickering light source. At frequencies above the cff, the light source appears to be continuous even though it is actually flickering. An investigation carried out to see whether true average cff depends on iris color yielded the following data (based on the article “The Effects of Iris Color on Critical Flicker Frequency,”/ of General Psycli., 1973: 91-95):
| Iris Color | |||

A goal was that the difference in recorded blood pressure between the observer and trainer be ≤ 2 mm Hg in absolute value. It was reported that the mean difference in systolic blood pressure (SBP) between observers and trainers (i.e., mean observer SBP minus trainer SBP) = mean (Δ) was 0.189 mm Hg with sd = 2.428 mm Hg. 1. If we assume that the distribution of Δ is normally distributed, then what % of (observer, trainer) pairs have a mean difference of ≥ 2 mm Hg in absolute value (i.e., either ≥ 2 mm Hg or ≤ −2 mm Hg)? 2.

Visual loss was measured by loss of retinal function as characterized by a 50% decline in the electroretinogram (ERG) 30 Hz amplitude, a measure of the electrical activity in the retina. In normal people, the normal range for ERG 30 Hz amplitude is (microvolts). In patients with RP, ERG 30 Hz amplitude is usually and is often . Approximately 50% of patients with ERG 30 Hz amplitudes near are legally blind compared with <10% of patients whose ERG 30 Hz amplitudes are near (the average ERG amplitude for patients in this clinical trial). Patients in the study were randomized to one of two treatment groups. The first group received high-dose (400 IU) vitamin E supplements. The second group received low-dose (3 IU - trace amount) Vitamin E supplements. Patients were enrolled in 1984-1987, and follow-up was…arrow_forward

- A medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y) Generally, the systolic blood pressure depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 125 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function: Y= 15.50 + 0..90B+1.15A. (0.55) (0 40) The test statistic of the study the student wants to conduct (Ho: B, = 0 vs. H, B, #0), keeping other variables constant is. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) At the 5% significance level, the student will ▼ the null hypothesis. Keeping BMIl constant, she now wants to test whether the age of a person (A) has no significant effect or a positive effect on the person's systolic blood pressure.
