A high school biology student wishes to test the hypothesis that hummingbird feeders can affect the mean mass of ruby-throated hummingbirds in the area surrounding the feeder. She captures and weighs several of the hummingbirds near a science museum where several feeders are located. She obtains the following masses in grams:


The student's hypotheses are:
H0: μ = 3.65 g
Ha: μ > 3.65 g
Use technology to calculate the P-value, then determine whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean mass of the birds in the area surrounding the feeder is greater than the mean mass of the general population. Test at the 5% significance level and assume that the population standard deviation is 0.35 g. Also, assess the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis.
◦ P = 0.509; since P > 0.05, reject the null hypothesis.
At the 5% significance level, the data do provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean mass of the birds in the area surrounding the feeder is greater than the mean mass of the general population. The evidence against the null hypothesis is strong.
◦ P = 0.745; since P > 0.05, do not reject the null hypothesis.
At the 5% significance level, the data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean mass of the birds in the area surrounding the feeder is greater than the mean mass of the general population. The evidence against the null hypothesis is weak or none.
◦ P = 0.255; since P > 0.05, reject the null hypothesis.
At the 5% significance level, the data do provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean mass of the birds in the area surrounding the feeder is greater than the mean mass of the general population. The evidence against the null hypothesis is moderate.
◦ P = 0.1418; since P > 0.05, do not reject the null hypothesis.
At the 5% significance level, the data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean mass of the birds in the area surrounding the feeder is greater than the mean mass of the general population. The evidence against the null hypothesis is weak or none.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
