Poisoning by the pesticide DDT causes tremors and convulsions. In a study of DDT poisoning, researchers fed several rats a measured amount of DDT. They then made measurements on the rats’ nervous systems that might explain how DDT poisoning causes tremors. One important variable was the “absolutely refractory period,” the time required for a nerve to recover after a stimulus. This period varies normally. Measurements on four rats gave the following measurements (in milliseconds): 6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9. Estimate the mean absolutely refractory period for all rats of this strain when subjected to the same treatment.

- When exposed to an infection, a person typically develops antibodies. The extent to which theantibodies respond can be measured by looking at a persons titer, which is a measure of the number of antibodies present. The higher the titer is, the more antibodies that are present. The data in Table represent the titers of 11 ill people and 11 healthy people exposed to the tularemia virus in Vermont. Is the level of titer in the ill group greater than the level of titer in the healthy group?

- 1.56 Longleaf pine trees. The Wade Tract in Thomas County, Georgia, is an old-growth forest of longleaf pine trees (Pinus palustris) that has survived in a relatively undisturbed state since before the settlement of the area by Europeans. A study collected data on 584 of these trees. One of the variables measured was the diameter at breast height (DBH). This is the diameter of the tree at 4.5 feet, and the units are centimeters (cm). Only trees with DBH greater than 1.5 cm were sampled.
