The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50 years is 15 mg/day. The article "Nutrient Intakes and Dietary Patterns of Older Americans: A National Study" (J. of Gerontology, 1992: M145-150) reports the following summary data on intake for a sample of males age 65-74 years: n = 115, x = 11.3, and s = 6.43. Does this data indicate that average daily zinc intake in the population of all males ages 65-74 falls below the recommended allowance?

Urban Travel Times Population of cities and driving times are related, as shown in the accompanying table, which shows the 1960 population N, in thousands, for several cities, together with the average time T, in minutes, sent by residents driving to work. City Population N Driving time T Los Angeles 6489 16.8 Pittsburgh 1804 12.6 Washington 1808 14.3 Hutchinson 38 6.1 Nashville 347 10.8 Tallahassee 48 7.3 An analysis of these data, along with data from 17 other cities in the United States and Canada, led to a power model of average driving time as a function of population. a Construct a power model of driving time in minutes as a function of population measured in thousands b Is average driving time in Pittsburgh more or less than would be expected from its population? c If you wish to move to a smaller city to reduce your average driving time to work by 25, how much smaller should the city be?
