Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Hydrostatic Pressure and Edema

Capillary hydrostatic pressure is the force exerted by blood against the capillary walls. This pressure pushes fluid out of the capillaries and into the surrounding tissues. Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissues.

Step 2: Relating Hydrostatic Pressure to Edema

If capillary hydrostatic pressure increases, more fluid is pushed out of the capillaries and into the tissues. This excess fluid in the tissues leads to edema. Therefore, an increase in capillary hydrostatic pressure increases the likelihood of edema.

A recent survey that 85% of a population watches TV at least once a day, 35% of the population uses a computer at least once a day, and 25% of the population do both. What is the probability that a person chosen at random from the population watches TV at least once a day or uses a computer at least once a day?

An automobile company is running a new television commercial in five cities with approximately the same population. The following table shows the number of times the commercial is run on TV in each city and the number of car sales (in hundreds). Find the Pearson correlation coefficient r for the data given in the table. Round any intermediate calculations to no less than six decimal places, and round your final answer to three decimal places. Number of TV commercials, x 4 5 13 14 18 Car sales, y (in hundreds) 2 4 9 6 7

Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 31 randomly selected people who train in groups, and finds that they run a mean of 47.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.2 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 37 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 49.4 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 3.1 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0: μ1=μ2 Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2
