Chapter 16.2, Problem 10E

In an experiment to study the way in which different anesthetics affected plasma epinephrine concentration, 10 dogs were selected and concentration was measured while they were under the influence of the anesthetics isoflurane and halothane (“Sympathoadrenal and Hemodynamic Effects of Isoflurane, Halothane, and Cyclopropane in Dogs” Anesthesiology [1974]: 465–470). The resulting data are as follows:

Chapter 16.2, Problem 10E, In an experiment to study the way in which different anesthetics affected plasma epinephrine

Use a level 0.05 signed-rank test to determine whether the mean epinephrine concentration differs for the two anesthetics. What assumption must be made about the epinephrine concentration distributions?

A paper in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disorders reported the following data on the amount of dextroamphetamine excreted by a sample of children having organically related disorders and a sample of children with nonorganic disorders (dextroamphetamine is a drug commonly used to treat hyperkinetic children). Organic: 17.53, 20.60, 17.62, 28.93, 27.10 Nonorganic: 15.59, 14.76, 13.32, 12.45, 12.79 (Observations refer to percentage of recovery of the drug seven hours after its administration.) If we assume that the variances of the two groups of children are unequal, determine whether the true average percentages of recovery for the two conditions are equal at significance level 0.01
A study was conducted to examine the effect of diet cola consumption on calcium levels in women. A sample of 16 healthy women aged 18 to 40 were randomly assigned to drink 24 ounces of either diet cola or water. Their urine was collected for three hours after ingestion of the beverage and calcium excretion (in mg) was measured. The data are stored in ColaCalcium.
A study examined the impact of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, on various physiological and psychological variables. The study recruited a sample of 18 young adults who were habitual marijuana smokers. Participants came to the lab 3 times, each time completing the entire series of tests and questionnaire, but each time smoking a different marijuana cigarette: one with 3.9% THC, one with 1.8% THC, and one with no THC, a placebo. The order of the conditions was randomized and participants were not told how much THC was in the cigarette they smoked until after all the data were collected. This is an example of a completely randomized experiment. O a case-control observational study. an anecdotal evidence. O a matched pairs or repeated measures experiment. Incorrect
