6.4.10. In a study of factors thought to be responsible for the adverse effects of smoking on human reproduction, cadmium level determinations (nanograms per gram) were made on placenta tissue of a sample of 14 mothers who were smokers and an independent random sample of 18 nonsmoking mothers. The results were as follows: Nonsmokers: 10.0.8.4. 12.8, 25.0, 11.8.9.8. 12.5, 15.4.23.5, 9.4. 25.1, 19.5. 25.5.9.8. 7.5, 11.8, 12.2, 15.0 Smokers: 30.0, 30.1, 15.0, 24.1, 30.5, 17.8, 16.8, 14.8, 13.4, 28.5, 17.5, 14.4, 12.5, 20.4 Does it appear likely that the mean cadmium level is higher among smokers than nonsmokers? Why do you reach this conclusion?

The 2006 Statistical Abstract of the United States reports on a survey that asked a national sample of 80,000 American households about pet ownership. Suppose (for now) that one-third of all American households own a pet cat. This survey found that 32.8% of the households sampled owned a pet cat. Is this number a parameter or a statistic? Calculate the Z-score of this sample proportion (0.328).
5.60 Treatment for depression: Researchers conducted a study of 18 patients whose depression had not responded to treatment (Zarate, 2006). Half received one intravenous dose of ketamine, a hypothesized quick fix for depression; half received one intravenous dose of placebo. Far more of the patients who received ket- amine improved, as measured by the Hamilton Depres- sion Rating Scale, usually in less than 2 hours, than patients on placebo. a. What is the population of interest, and what is the sample in this study? b. Was random selection likely used? Explain your answer. c. Was random assignment likely used? Explain your answer. d.

At alpha equals 0.06 , can you support the claim that the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts is greater in the South than in the Northeast? Assume the random samples are independent.

. Differences of electric potential occur naturally from point to point on a body’s skin. Researchers used newts to determine if changing the electric field reduces the mean healing rate for all newts. The researchers found in a sample of 14 newts the following data results: ?̅= −5.714 with sd = 10.564. Conduct a paired t-test at α = .01 to determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that changing the electric field reduces the mean healing rate for all newts.

9.21) The Environmental Protection Agency has collected data on the LC50 (concentration killing 50% of the test animals in a specified time interval) measurements for certain chemicals likely to be found in freshwater rivers and lakes. For a certain species of fish, the LC50 measurements (in parts per million) for DDT in 12 experiments yielded the following: 16, 5, 21, 19, 10, 5, 8, 2, 7, 2, 4, 9 Assuming such LC50 measurements to be approximately normally distributed, estimate the true mean LC50 for DDT with a confidence coefficient of 0.90.
A manufacturer of children's vitamins claims that its vitamins are mixed so that each batch has exactly the following percentages of each color: 10 % green, 30 % yellow, 30 % red, and 30 % orange. To test the claim that these percentages are incorrect, 100 bottles of vitamins were sampled and the colors of the vitamins were tallied. The results are listed in the following table. At a = 0.025, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentages stated by the vitamin manufacturer are incorrect.
