Chapter 10.6, Problem 52E
A biologist has hypothesized that high concentrations of actinomycin D inhibit RNA synthesis in cells and thereby inhibit the production of proteins. An experiment conducted to test this theory compared the RNA synthesis in cells treated with two concentrations of actinomycin D: 0.6 and 0.7 micrograms per liter. Cells treated with the lower concentration (0.6) of actinomycin D yielded that 55 out of 70 developed normally whereas only 23 out of 70 appeared to develop normally for the higher concentration (0.7). Do these data indicate that the rate of normal RNA synthesis is lower for cells exposed to the higher concentrations of actinomycin D?
- a Find the p-value for the test.
- b If you chose to use α = .05 what is your conclusion?

4.96 The breaking strengths for 1-foot-square samples of a particular synthetic fabric are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 2,250 pounds per square inch (psi) and a standard deviation of 10.2 psi. Find the probability of selecting a 1-foot-square sample of material at random that on testing would have a breaking strength in excess of 2,265 psi.4.97 Refer to Exercise 4.96. Suppose that a new synthetic fabric has been developed that may have a different mean breaking strength. A random sample of 15 1-foot sections is obtained, and each section is tested for breaking strength. If we assume that the population standard deviation for the new fabric is identical to that for the old fabric, describe the sampling distribution forybased on random samples of 15 1-foot sections of new fabric
