- A biologist wished to study the effects of ethanol on sleep time. A sample of 80 rats, matched for age and other characteristics, was selected, and each rat was given an oral injection having a particular concentration of ethanol per body weight. The rapid eye movement (REM) sleep time for each rat was then recorded for a 24-hour period. The results are summarized in the side-by-side boxplots below. How is the amount of ethanol given related to the median REM sleep time? Does the amount of ethanol given affect the variability of REM sleep time? What amount of ethanol given leads to the most skewed distribution of sleep times? Is the distribution of REM sleep times for the rats given 2 g/kg ethanol symmetric, skewed left, or skewed right?arrow_forwardA study was performed looking at the effect of mean ozone exposure on change in pulmonary function. Forty-seven hikers were recruited into the study, 25 study participants hiked on days with high ozone exposure, and 22 hiked on days with low-ozone exposure.

- Left ventricular mass (LVM) is an important risk factor for subsequent cardiovascular disease. A study is proposed to assess the relationship between childhood blood-pressure levels and LVM in children as determined from echocardiograms. The goal is to stratify children into a normal bp group (< 80th percentile for their age, gender, and height) and an elevated bp group (≥ 90th percentile for their age, gender, and height) and compare change in LVM between the two groups. Before this can be done, one needs to demonstrate that LVM actually changes in children over a 4-year period. To help plan the main study, a pilot study is conducted where echocardiograms are obtained from 10 random children from the Bogalusa Heart Study at baseline and after 4 years of follow-up. The data are given in Table 9.18 (Note: These are the same data as in Table 8.27, p. 329). 9.71 Compare your results in Problems 9.69 and 9.70. 9.72 Compare your results to those obtained using t test methods in Problem…arrow_forwardLeft ventricular mass (LVM) is an important risk factor for subsequent cardiovascular disease.
