D. A study aims to determine the relationship of salt intake to the blood pressure of persons
aged 15 years and over. The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 20 subjects with a
low salt diet was compared to that of an equal number of subjects with a high salt diet.
The following data were generated:
High Salt Diet
Low Salt Diet
Mean SBP
138 mmHg
120 mmHg
Std. dev. of SBP
11.9 mmHg
12.2 mmHg
Is there a difference between the means of systolic blood pressure of subjects with high
and low salt diets?
Following are measurements of soil concentrations (in mg /kg) of chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) at20 sites in the area of Cleveland, Ohio. These data are taken from the article "Variation in NorthAmerican Regulatory Guidance for Heavy Metal Surface Soil Contamination at Commercial andIndustrial Sites" (A. Jennings and J. Ma, J. Environment Eng, 2007:587-609).

Johnson and Leone (Statistics and Experimental Design in Engineering and the Physical Sciences, Wiley, 977) describe an experiment to investigate warping of copper plates. The two factors studied were the temperature and the copper content of the plates. The response variable was a measure of the amount of warping.
