2.3 Points 0.10 and 1.24. 2/40 or 5%.
3 .2 A uniform or flat distribution. Population mean 4.5, population SD 2.87.
3.3 The distribution will be approximately
Normal, mean 4.5 and SD 287/

4.1 The reference range is 12.26 - 57.74, and so the observed value of 52 is included in it.
5.1 0.42 g/dl, z = 3.08 0.001<P<0.01, difference = 1.3 g/dl, 95% CI 0.48 to 2.12 g/dl.
6.1 SE (percentage) = 2.1%, SE (difference) = 3.7%, difference = 3.4%. 95% CI -3.9 to 10.7%, z = 0.94, P = 0.35.
6.2 Yes, the traditional remedy, z = 2.2, P = 0.028.

9.1 Sickness rate in first department 28%, in second department 8%, difference 20% (approximate 95% CI = -6 to 45%, P = 0.24 (Fisher's Exact test mid P)). P is calculated from 2 x (0.5 x 0.173 + 0.031).
10.2 Mann-Whitney statistic = 74. The group on the new remedy. No.
11.3 y = 36.1 - 2.34x. This means that, on average, for every 1 mile increase in mean distance the attendance rate drops by 2.34%. This can be safely accepted only within the area measured here.
11.4 SE = 0.39, 95% CI = -2.34 - 2.145 x 0.39 to -2.34 + 2.145 x 0.39 = -3.1 to -1.5%.
