Chapter 11.6, Problem 37E

Using the model fit to the data of Exercise 11.8, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean value of flow-through LC50 measurements for a toxicant that has a static LC50 of 12 parts per million. (Also see Exercise 11.18.)

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 Y = β 0 + β 1 x + ε .

  1. a What interpretation can you give to the results?
  2. b Estimate the flow-through value for a toxicant with an LC50 static value of x = 12 ppm.

  3. a Calculate SSE and S2 for Exercise 11.8.
  4. 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).

Data are collected in a clinical trial evaluating a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. 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. 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.   PLEASE SHOW THE ANSWER IN EXCEL FORMAT WITH FORMULAS.
A methodological study had established values for the MIC on a scale that measured physical function: The MIC for improvement (higher scores) was 4.0, and the MIC for deterioration (lower scores) was 3.0. Lawrence studied clinically significant change in physical functioning over a 1-year period for a sample of 100 patients with COPD. Some change score information is presented below for 10 patients. Which patients experienced clinically significant change in physical function in the 12-month period between assessments?   Patient Baseline Score* 12-Month Score* 1 19 15 2 12 10 3 16 14 4 17 16 5 9 10 6 11 12 7 13 17 8 15 13 9 18 14 10 16 9   *Higher scores = higher level of physical function     Which patients had clinically significant deterioration?   Which patients had clinically significant improvement?   Which patients had no clinically significant change?
