The aging Neotropical termites (Neocapritermes taracua) secrete a sticky, blue-colored liquid that they spew to intruding termites. The younger Neotropical termites secrete a liquid that lacks the blue component, so it is white in appearance. In an experiment that measured the toxicity of the blue substance, the researchers placed one drop of either the blue liquid or the white liquid on individuals of a second termite species, Labiotermes labralis. Of the 41 Labiotermes labralis that got the blue drop, 37 were immobilized. Of the 40 Labiotermes labralis that got the white drop, 9 were immobilized. Is the blue liquid toxic compared to the white liquid

The ecologist studying the effects of phytohormones (auxin and cytokinin) on tumor induction in plants by insects, performed an experiment to determine if the form of the cytokinin affected the growth of tumors. She performed treatments each with the same total cytokinin and auxin concentrations, but with individual or mixtures of a few cytokinins (TZ – trans-zeatin, CZ - cis-zeatin, IP – isopentenyl adenosine, and IAA - indole acetic acid). Treatment 1 had auxin (IAA) alone so is not pertinent to the questions asked here, treatment 6 had TZ + IAA, treatment 17 had IP + IAA, treatment 18 had TZ+IP +IAA, treatment 19 had CZ + IAA, and treatment 20 had TZ+CZ+IP+IAA. Perform a priori contrasts comparing the effects of treatments with IP to treatments without IP and treatments with TZ to treatments with CZ (no treatments with both TZ and CZ). Use the data in the file "cytokinin.csv". (Note: Beware of missing value on row 13..) cytokinin data Treatment sumdiff 1 1 0.02063830 2 1…
One effect of the pesticide DDT upon birds is to inhibit the production of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which controls calcium metabolism. It is believed that this causes eggshells to be thinner and weaker than normal and makes the eggs more prone to breakage. An experiment was conducted where 16 sparrow hawks were fed a mixture of 3 ppm dieldrin and 15 ppm DDT (a combination often found in contaminated prey). The first egg laid by each bird was measured, and the mean shell thickness was found to be 0.19 mm. A “normal” eggshell has a mean thickness of 0.2 mm. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.
In an observational study, it was noticed that people that eat more chocolate tend to have better blood flow than the general population. Researchers wonder whether the improved blood flow might be caused by flavanols (a molecule found in many foods). Dark chocolate contains a high concentration of flavanols, but milk chocolate contains a much lower concentration. How could the researchers design an experiment to determine the effects of flavanol on blood flow from the different types of chocolate?
In immune.xlsx, some individuals received a treatment of carotenoids (CAROT) and some received no treatment (NO). Carotenoids belong to a class of molecules called isoprenoids, many of them are antioxidants and some of them are vitamins such as vitamin A and its precursor beta-carotene, which is found in carrots. Because of the antioxidant properties of carotenoids the purpose of the study was to check if they have any effect on immunity. The column PHA gives quantitative measuremenst of cell-mediated immunity and the column SRBC gives quantitative measurements of humoral immunity. This is clearly a two-sample (non-paired) design. Therefore, you need to perform a Mann-Whitney-U test to check for differences. Bear in minds that rank assignments in Excel can be quite tricky and, therefore, if you need to do a Mann-Whitney rank assignment it is probably best to do this by hand. 1) What is the rank sum of the PHA data of the individuals, which received carotenoids and what is the…

Researchers wonder whether the improved sleep might be caused by the minerals potassium and magnesium found in leafy, green vegetables.
