Chapter 3, Problem 71CR
Americium 241 (241Am) is a radioactive material used in the manufacture of smoke detectors. The article “Retention and Dosimetry of Injected 241Am in Beagles” (Radiation Research [1984]: 564–575) described a study in which 55 beagles were injected with a dose of 241 Am (proportional to each animal’s weight). Skeletal retention of 241 Am (in microcuries per kilogram) was recorded for each beagle, resulting in the foil owing data:
- a. Construct a frequency distribution for these data, and draw the corresponding histogram.
- b. Write a short description of the important features of the shape of the histogram.

In a study of exhaust emissions from school buses, the pollution intake by passengers was determined for a sample of nine school buses used in the Southern California Air Basin. The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 1818‑mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. (As a reference, the average intake of motor emissions of carbon monoxide in the LA area is estimated to be about 0.0000460.000046 grams per person.) The amounts for the nine buses when driven with the windows open are given.

A good way to judge the effect of outliers is to do your analysis twice, once with the outliers and a second time without them. Give two 90%90% confidence intervals, one with all the data and one with the outliers removed, for the mean pollution intake among all school buses…

- A study of the effect of caffeine on muscle metabolism used eighteen male volunteers who each underwent arm exercise tests. Nine of the men were randomly selected to take a capsule containing pure caffeine one hour before the test. The other men received a placebo capsule. During each exercise the subject's respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was measured. (RER is the ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed and is an indicator of whether energy is being obtained from carbohydrates or fats). The question of interest to the experimenter was whether, on average, caffeine changes RER.
