Chapter 16.1, Problem 4E

A blood lead level of 70 mg/ml has been commonly accepted as safe. However, researchers have noted that some neurophysiological symptoms of lead poisoning appear in people whose blood lead levels are below 70 mg/ml. The article “Subclinical Neuropathy at Safe Levels of Lead Exposure” (Archives of Environmental Health [1975]: 180–183) gave the following nerve-conduction velocities for a group of workers who were exposed to lead in the workplace but whose blood lead levels were below 70 mg/ml and for a group of controls who had no exposure to lead:

Chapter 16.1, Problem 4E, A blood lead level of 70 mg/ml has been commonly accepted as safe. However, researchers have noted

Use a level 0.05 rank-sum test to determine whether there is a significant difference in mean conduction velocity between workers exposed to lead and those not exposed to lead.

Hoaglin, Mosteller, and Tukey (1983) presented data on blood levels of beta-endorphin as a function of stress. They took beta-endorphin levels for 19 patients 12 hours before surgery and again 10 minutes before surgery.  The data are presented below, in fmol/ml Based on these data, what effect does increased stressed have on endorphin levels.  include: the hypotheses tested (H0 and H1), the test-statistic and its df, the p-value of the test, and the conclusion as it relates to the research question.   Participant                   12 hours before           10 minutes before 1                                  10                                6.5 2                                  6.5                               14.0 3                                  8.0                               13.5 4                                  12                                18 5                                  5.0                               14.5 6                                  11.5…
4.  Captopril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were treated with this drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the accompanying table (based on data from “Essential Hypertension: Effect of an Oral Inhibitor of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme”, by MacGregor et al., BMJ, Vol. 2). Using a 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that captopril has an effect on systolic blood pressure? Explain why statistical methods from Z-interval, Z-test, T-interval or T-test –cannot be used for this problem. Then, use the sign test to conduct the required test in R studio. Please show your work.
