[Step-by-Step] Latex allergy in health care workers. Health care workers NW who use latex gloves with glove powder on a daily basis are particularly susceptible

Question: Latex allergy in health care workers. Health care workers NW who use latex gloves with glove powder on a daily basis are particularly susceptible to developing a latex allergy. Symptoms of a latex allergy include conjunctivitis, hand eczema, nasal congestion, skin rash, and shortness of breath. Each in a sample of 46 hospital employees who were diagnosed with latex allergy based on a skin-prick test reported on their exposure to latex gloves (Current Allergy & Climical Immunology, Mar. 2004). Summary statistics for the number of latex gloves used per week are: \(\bar{x}=19.3, s=11.9\)

  1. Give a point estimate for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy.
  2. Form a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy.
  3. Give a practical interpretation of the interval, part b. d. Give the conditions required for the interval, part \(\mathbf{b}\), to be valid.
