Chapter 7.4, Problem 7.34ACB
Stability of compounds in new drugs. Refer to the ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters (Vol. 1. 2010) study of the metabolic stability of drugs, Exercise 2.221 (p. 59). Recall that two important values computed from the testing phase are the fraction of compound unbound to plasma (fup) and the fraction of compound unbound to microsomes (fumic). A key formula for assessing stability assumes that the fup/fumic ratio is 1:1. Pharmacologists at Pfizer Global Research and Development tested 416 drugs and reported the fup/fumic ratio for each. These data are saved in the FUP file, and summary statistics are provided in the accompanying Minitab printout. Suppose the pharmacologists want to determine if the true

Much concern has been expressed regarding the practice of using nitrates as meat preservatives. In one study involving possible effects of these chemicals, bacteria cultures were grown in a medium containing nitrates. The rate of uptake of radio-labeled amino acid (in dpm, disintegrations per minute) was then determined for each culture, yielding the following observations. 7,255 6,875 9,637 6,863 9,098 5,846 8,954 7,979 7,068 7,498 7,882 8,179 7,528 8,728 7,469 Suppose that it is known that the mean rate of uptake for cultures without nitrates is 8,000. Do the data suggest that the addition of nitrates results in a decrease in the mean rate of uptake? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.10. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use technology to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.) t= P-value= State your conclusion. Reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean rate of…
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l.
Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l?
Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.

- Recent publications have addressed the growing concern in the scientific community around the increased prevalence of CAT scans in children between the ages of 7-18 and the growing rate of childhood cancers. Suppose the researcher plans to gather a SRS from a group of children in this age range who have received one or more CAT scans, and a SRS from a group of children who have never received a CAT scan and compare the number of cases of childhood cancers that develop over a prolonged period of time.
