Using the model fit to the data of Exercise 11.8, construct a 95% confidence interval for the
11.8 Laboratory experiments designed to measure LC50 (lethal concentration killing 50% of the test species) values for the effect of certain toxicants on fish are run by two different methods. One method has water continuously flowing through laboratory tanks, and the other method has static water conditions. For purposes of establishing criteria for toxicants, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to adjust all results to the flow-through condition. Thus, a model is needed to relate the two types of observations. Observations on toxicants examined under both static and flow-through conditions yielded the data in the accompanying table (measurements in parts per million, ppm). Fit the model
- a What interpretation can you give to the results?
- b Estimate the flow-through value for a toxicant with an LC50 static value of x = 12 ppm.

- a Calculate SSE and S2 for Exercise 11.8.
- b Refer to Exercise 11.8. Code the x-values in a convenient manner and fit a simple linear model to the LC50 measurements presented there. Compute SSE and compare your answer to the result of part (a).

The new compound is compared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound healing is measured, and the data are shown in Table 7.6 (attached) Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing by treatment? (Hint: Are treatment and the percentage of wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. THIS NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED IN EXCEL.

- Answer part a and barrow_forwardK Iron is an integral part of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health. Recommendations for iron were developed by an institute of medicine for a certain region. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for adult females under the age of 51 years is 19 milligrams (mg) per day. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether adult females under the age of 51 years are, on average, getting more than the RDA of 19 mg of iron per day. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. Determine the null hypothesis. Hou mg (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Determine the alternative hypothesis. Ha: H mg (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) c.

- One particular professional association of investors conducts a weekly survey of its members to measure the percent who are bullish, bearish, and neutral on the stock market for the next six months. The survey results showed 38.1% bullish, 22.2% neutral, and 39.7% bearish. Assume these results are based on a sample of 300 members. (a) Over the long term, the proportion of bullish members is 0.39. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance to see if the current sample results show that bullish sentiment differs from its long term average of 0.39. What are your findings? Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the bullish sentiment differs from its long term average of 0.39.
