Chapter 16.2, Problem 10E
In an experiment to study the way in which different anesthetics affected plasma epinephrine concentration, 10 dogs were selected and concentration was measured while they were under the influence of the anesthetics isoflurane and halothane (“Sympathoadrenal and Hemodynamic Effects of Isoflurane, Halothane, and Cyclopropane in Dogs” Anesthesiology [1974]: 465–470). The resulting data are as follows:
Use a level 0.05 signed-rank test to determine whether the mean epinephrine concentration differs for the two anesthetics. What assumption must be made about the epinephrine concentration distributions?

A paper in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disorders reported the following data on the amount of dextroamphetamine excreted by a sample of children having organically related disorders and a sample of children with nonorganic disorders (dextroamphetamine is a drug commonly used to treat hyperkinetic children). Organic: 17.53, 20.60, 17.62, 28.93, 27.10
Nonorganic: 15.59, 14.76, 13.32, 12.45, 12.79
(Observations refer to percentage of recovery of the drug seven hours after its administration.) If we assume that the variances of the two groups of children are unequal, determine whether the true average percentages of recovery for the two conditions are equal at significance level 0.01
A study examined the impact of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, on various physiological and psychological
variables. The study recruited a sample of 18 young adults who were habitual marijuana smokers. Participants came to the
lab 3 times, each time completing the entire series of tests and questionnaire, but each time smoking a different marijuana
cigarette: one with 3.9% THC, one with 1.8% THC, and one with no THC, a placebo. The order of the conditions was
randomized and participants were not told how much THC was in the cigarette they smoked until after all the data were
collected. This is an example of
a completely randomized experiment.

- In a study conducted in the Science Department of Faculty of Science, Technology and Human Development in a University; the researcher examined the influence of the drug succinylcholine on the circulation levels of androgens in the blood. Blood samples from wild, free-ranging deer were obtained via the jugular vein immediately after an intramuscular injection of succinylcholine using darts and a capture gun. Deer were bled again approximately 30 minutes after the injection and then released. The level of androgens at time of capture and 30 minutes later, measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), for 15 deers as in Table Q1. Assuming that the populations of androgen at time of injection and 30 minutes later are normally distributed:i) Find the average and standard deviation of this studyii)Determine the critical region of this problem.iii) Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether the androgen concentrations are altered after 30 minutes of restraint.arrow_forwardNeutropenia. Neutropenia is an abnormally low number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood. Chemotherapy often reduces the number of neutrophils to a level that makes patients susceptible to fever and infections. G. Bucaneve et al. published a study of such cancer patients in the paper “Levofloxacin to Prevent Bacterial Infection in Patients With Cancer and Neutropenia” (New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 353, No. 10, pp. 977–987). For the study, 375 patients were randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of levofloxacin, and 363 were given placebo. In the group receiving levofloxacin, fever was present in 243 patients for the duration of neutropenia, whereas fever was experienced by 308 patients in the placebo group. a. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that levofloxacin is effective in reducing the occurrence of fever in such patients? b.

The first set of seven mice received an amount of 5 mg MSG/body-weight while the other set of seven mice received an amount of 15 mg MSG/body-weight of MSG.

- Benzene is a pollutant that, according to studies, can be associated with health problems. Benzene is found in air, water, and soil and comes from both industrial and natural sources. Benzene levels in indoor air are generally higher than outdoors. The main source of benzene in indoor air appears to be tobacco smoke, thus the combustion of tobacco is a major source of pollution. Benzene levels are measured in a random sample of 36 bars in a city, obtaining an average benzene level of 19.2 mg / m3, with a standard deviation of 2.1 mg / m3. Estimate the mean benzene level in bars in this city using a 95% confidence interval.

Ten were randomly selected to be a control group, and ten others were assigned to take part in the regimen as the treatment group for a period of 6 months. The following data show the reduction in cholesterol experienced for the time period for the 20 subjects: Control group: 7, 3, −4, 14, 2, 5, 22, −7, 95Treatment group: −6, 5, 9, 44, 12, 37, 5, 3, 3 (a) Do a dot plot of the data for both groups on thesame graph.(b) Compute the mean, median, and 10% trimmedmean for both groups.(c) Explain why the difference in means suggests oneconclusion about the effect of the regimen, whilethe difference in medians or trimmed means suggests a different conclusion.arrow_forwardPeople who eat lots of fruits and vegetables have lower rates of colon cancer than those who eat little of these foods. Fruits and vegetables are rich in "antioxidants" such as vitamins A, C, and E. Will taking antioxidants help prevent colon cancer? A clinical trial studied this question with 864 people who were at risk for colon cancer. The subjects were divided into four groups: daily beta-carotene, daily vitamins C and E, all three vitamins every day, and daily placebo.

- In an effort to link cold environments with hypertension in humans, a preliminary experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of cold on hypertension in rats. Two random samples of 6 rats each were exposed to different environments. One sample of rats was held in a normal environment at 26°C. The other sample was held in a cold 5°C environment. Blood pressures and heart rates were measured for rats for both groups. The blood pressures for the 12 rats are shown in the table below. a. Provide a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the two population meansb.

In a study, doctors enrolled women prior to conception and divided them randomly into two groups. One group, consisting of 2783 women, took daily multivitamins containing 0.8 mg of folic acid; the other group, consisting of 2103 women, received only trace elements. Major birth defects occurred in 31 cases when the women took folic acid and in 47 cases when the women did not. a. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that women who take folic acid are at lesser risk of having children with major birth defects? b.
