A random sample of people aged 65 and older are randomly given either a placebo or a vitamin supplement to take daily for 4 weeks and each week their cholesterol is measured. The researchers find that those taking the vitamin supplement on average lowered their cholesterol more than those taking the placebo. 1. Is this an observational or experimental study? [exp] Why?

Sаlаries fоr nurses in Flоridа are nоrmally distributed with a mean of $72,000 and a standard deviation of $4211. 1. If one nurse in Florida is chosen, what is the probability that the salary of this nurse is less than $70,000? Round your response to 4 decimal places. [q1] 2. 80% of nurses in Florida earn between [lower] and [upper]. Round to the nearest dollar. Suppose a random sample of 42 nurses in Florida is chosen. 3. Describe the sampling distribution of the mean for samples of size n = 42. Be sure to address the shape, the mean of the sampling distribution and the standard error of the mean. Where rounding is necessary, round to the nearest dollar. The sampling distribution of the mean is [shape] with a mean of [mean] and standard error of [se]. 4. What is the probability that a random sample of 42 nurses in Florida have a mean salary of greater than $73,000? a. The probability is [prob]. (Round to 4 decimal places) b. if [100s] were chosen from this population, we'd expect about [number] to have a mean price of more than $73,000.
