Textbook Question
Chapter 11.5, Problem 31E
Using a chemical procedure called differential pulse polarography, a chemist measured the peak current generated (in microamperes, µA) when solutions containing different amounts of nickel (measured in parts per billion, ppb) are added to different portions of the same buffer.8 Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that peak current increases as nickel concentrations increase? Use α = .05.

A researcher is testing the effect of a new cold and flu medication on reaction time. A sample of n = 16 students is obtained and each student is given the normal dose of the medicine. Thirty minutes later, each student's reaction time is measured. The scores for the sample averaged M = 220 milliseconds with SS = 6000.
Assuming that reaction time for students in the regular population averages μ = 200 milliseconds, are the data sufficient to conclude that the medication has a significant effect on reaction time? Test at the .05 level of significance.
Make a point estimate and a 95% confidence interval estimate for the treated population mean.
Using 1% & 5% alphas, test the overall significance of the model on excel.

Velocity, in meters per second, was recorded and the results are given in a table below. The researchers concluded that swimming in guar syrup does not change swimming speed.

- The amount of oxygen consumption (ml/min) was measured in 6 individuals over two 10- minute periods while sitting with their eyes closed. During the first period, they listen to an exciting adventure story and then again, an hour later while they heard restful music. Based on the results shown, is oxygen consumption different depending on whether it is a story or music one is listening to? The data is in Table 2 and test at an alpha of 0.05. -Do using formulas not excelarrow_forwardLong-distance runners have contended that moderate exposure to ozone increases lungcapacity. To investigate this possibility, a researcher exposed 12 rats to ozone at the rateof 2 parts per million for a period of 30 days. The lung capacity of rats was determined atthe beginning of the study and again after the 30 days of ozone exposure. The lungcapacities (in mL) are given here:(a) If we can assume normality, is there sufficient evidence to support the conjecture thatozone exposure increases lung capacity? Use α = 0.01? b) Estimate the size of the increase in lung capacity after exposure to ozone. Use a 99%confidence interval.arrow_forwardThe article “Effect of Internal Gas Pressure on the Com- pression Strength of Beverage Cans and Plastic Bottles” (J. of Testing and Evaluation, 1993: 129–131) includes the accompanying data on compression strength (lb) for a sample of 12-oz aluminum cans filled with strawberry drink and another sample filled with cola. Does the data suggest that the extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength? Base your answer on a P-value. What assumptions are necessary for your analysis?
