Recently, researchers have begun to focus on the relationship between potentially toxic environmental exposures in children to a number of adverse health outcomes. Suppose one such researcher wants to investigate the relationship between lead levels in soil (micrograms/dL) and BMI (kg/m2). The following table represents a SRS of households with the corresponding exterior lead levels and BMI of a randomly sampled child in the home. Lead levels BMI 13.6 19.7 14.3 19.9 9.7 20.1 9.4 22.1 11.4 19.8 10.9 21.6 A) Write out the null and alternative hypotheses for a formal test of significance testing the correlation between the two variables and calulate a t statistic and interpret your pvalue and results.
The article “Assessment of Dermopharmacokinetic Approach in the Bioequivalence Determination of Topical Tretinoin Gel Products” (L. Pershing, J. Nelson, et al., J Am Acad Dermatol 2003:740–751) reports that the amount of a certain antifungal ointment that is absorbed into the skin can be modeled with a lognormal distribution. Assume that the amount (in ng/cm²) of active ingredient in the skin two hours after application is lognormally distributed with μ = 2.2 and σ = 2.1. a) Find the mean amount absorbed. b) Find the median amount absorbed. c) Find the probability that the amount absorbed is more than 100 ng/cm². d) Find the probability that the amount absorbed is less than 50 ng/cm². e) Find the 80th percentile of the amount absorbed. f) Find the standard deviation of the amount absorbed.
