Chapter 15.4, Problem 27E
In an experiment to study the way in which different anesthetics affect plasma epinephrine concentration, ten dogs were selected and concentration was measured while they were under the influence of the anesthetics isoflurane, halothane, and cyclopropane (“Sympathoadrenal and Hemodynamic Effects of Isoflurane, Halothane, and Cyclopropane in Dogs,” Anesthesiology, 1974:465-470). Test at level .05 to see whether there is an anesthetic effect on concentration.

In a study conducted in the Science Department of Faculty of Science, Technology and Human Development in a University; the researcher examined the influence of the drug succinylcholine on the circulation levels of androgens in the blood. Blood samples from wild, free-ranging deer were obtained via the jugular vein immediately after an intramuscular injection of succinylcholine using darts and a capture gun. Deer were bled again approximately 30 minutes after the injection and then released. The level of androgens at time of capture and 30 minutes later, measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), for 15 deers as in Table Q1.
Assuming that the populations of androgen at time of injection and 30 minutes later are normally distributed:i) Find the average and standard deviation of this studyii)Determine the critical region of this problem.iii) Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether the androgen concentrations are altered after 30 minutes of restraint.
The article “Effects of Diets with Whole Plant-Origin Proteins Added with Different Ratiosof Taurine:Methionine on the Growth, Macrophage Activity and Antioxidant Capacity ofRainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Fingerlings” (O. Hernandez, L. Hernandez, et al.,Veterinary and Animal Science, 2017:4-9) reports that a sample of 210 juvenile rainbowtrout fed a diet fortified with equal amounts of the amino acids taurine and methionine for aperiod of 70 days had a mean weight gain of 313 percent with a standard deviation of 25, while 210 fish fed with a control diet had a mean weight gain of 233 percent with a standard deviation of 19. Units are percent. Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference in weight gain on the two diets.
A test of body reaction to the Malaysian citizens who have taken their vaccine was conducted. Selected citizens who got side effect are categorised according to their blood type and the type of vaccine received. From a sample of 250 citizens, 150 of them were administered with Sinovac while the rest received AstraZeneca. Table 4 shows the number of citizens who had side effect after being vaccinated.

- Study: What type of soil conditions are favorable for the growth of a common flowering species such as Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus) often found along roadsides? Suppose that a controlled research study was conducted to compare the growth of this flower in three types of soil treatments, specifically the effects of nitrogen. (1) Group 1: No nitrogen added to the soil, (2) Group 2: Low amounts of nitrogen added to the soil, and (3) Group 3: High amounts of nitrogen added to the soil. The weight of dry biomass of Erigeron annuus (mg) planted in the containers under each of the three treatments was recorded and shown below.

Ngai, C. Yeung, and C. Leung, Journal of Paediatric Child Health, 2000:36–45) reports an investigation into the toxicity of bilirubin on several cell lines. Ten sets of human liver cells and 10 sets of mouse fibroblast cells were placed into solutions of bilirubin in albumin with a 1.4 bilirubin/albumin molar ratio for 24 hours. In the 10 sets of human liver cells, the average percentage of cells surviving was 53.9 with a standard deviation of 10.7. In the 10 sets of mouse fibroblast cells, the average percentage of cells surviving was 73.1 with a standard deviation of 9.1.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial pollutants, are known to be carcinogens and a great danger to natural ecosystems. As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. Risebrough, is titled “Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man” (Proceedings of the 6th Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, VI, University of California Press, pp. 443–463). In that study, 60 Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm).

- In a study of hypnotic suggestion, 16 male volunteers were randomly allocated to a treatment groupand a control group. Each subject participated in a two-phase experimental session. In the first phase, respiration was measured while the subject was awake and at rest. In the second phase, the subject was told to imagine that he was performing muscular work, and respiration was measured again. For subjects in the treatment group, hypnosis was induced between the first and second phases; thus, the suggestion to imagine muscular work was “hypnotic suggestion” for treatment subjects and “waking suggestion” for control subjects. The table below shows the measurements of total ventilation (liters of air per minute per square meter of body area) for all 16 subjects. (a) For those being hypnotized (treatment group), test the hypotheses H0: μrest = μwork versus Ha:μrest 6= μwork, where μrest and μwork are respectively the mean total ventilation when they are atrest and when they are performing…arrow_forwardIn a study of exhaust emissions from school buses, the pollution intake by passengers was determined for a sample of nine school buses used in the Southern California Air Basin. The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person per million grams emitted, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 18-mile18-mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. (In comparison, a city of 11 million people will inhale a total of about 1212 grams of exhaust per million grams emitted.) The amounts for the nine buses when driven with the windows open are given in the table. 1.15 0.33 0.40 0.33 1.35 0.38 0.25 0.40 0.35 A good way to judge the effect of outliers is to do your analysis twice, once with the outliers and a second time without them.

For fertilizer C, the increase in yield is statistically significant at the 0.05 level. For the other five, the increase is not statistically significant. The scientist concludes that the yield obtained with fertilizer C is greater than that of the current fertilizer. Explain why this conclusion is not justified.arrow_forward
- 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…arrow_forwardIn immune.xlsx, some individuals received a treatment of carotenoids (CAROT) and some received no treatment (NO).

In order to test the hypothesis that the new program decreases BMI (Kg/m2), the researcher takes a SRS of children from schools where the program is employed and a SRS from schools that do not employ the program and compares the results. Assume the following table represents the SRSs of students and their BMIs. Student intervention group BMI (kg/m2) Student control group BMI (kg/m2) A 18.6 A 21.6 B 18.2 B 18.9 C 19.5 C 19.4 D 18.9 D 22.6 E 24.1 F 23.6 A) Assuming that all the necessary conditions are met (normality, independence, etc.) carry out the appropriate statistical test to determine if the new exercise program is effective.
