- A comparison between species: Biologists wish to compare the prevalence of a genetic mutation across two species of Neema Toads. In a sample of 6 Neema Toads of Species I, 0.8% had the mutation while in a sample of 14 Neema Toads of Species II, 0.7% showed the mutation. Is there significant evidence to suggest a difference in the prevalence of the mutation across the two species?

- Calcium and Blood Pressure Does increasing the amount of calcium in our diet reduce blood pressure? Examination of a large sample of people revealed a relationship between calcium intake and blood pressure. Such observational studies do not establish causation. Researchers therefore designed a randomized comparative experiment. The subjects were 21 healthy men who volunteered to take part in the experiment. They were randomly assigned to two groups: 10 of the men received a calcium supplement for 12 weeks, while the control group of 11 men received a placebo pill that looked identical. The experiment was double-blind. The response variable is the decrease in systolic (top number) blood pressure for a subject after 12 weeks, in millimeters of mercury. An increase appears as a negative number. Do the data provide convincing evidence that a calcium supplement reduces blood pressure more than a placebo, on average, for subjects like the ones in this study?
