Chapter 5, Problem 73E
Suppose the hypothetical data below are from a toxicity study designed to measure the effectiveness of different doses of a pesticide on mosquitoes. The table below summarizes the concentration of the pesticide, the sample sizes, and the number of mosquitoes killed.
- a. Make a
scatterplot of the proportions of mosquitoes killed versus the pesticide concentration. - b. Using the techniques introduced in this section, calculate
- c. The point at which the dose kills 50% of the mosquitoes is sometimes called LD50, for “Lethal dose 50%.” What would you estimate LD50 to be for this pesticide when used on mosquitoes?

You have been hired to measure the concentration of ammonia in water from wells at
two districts on Long Island. After sampling 10 wells in one of the districts you find
the values are, in mg/L: 6.4, 2.1, 1.4, 0.7, 6.8, 3.2, 2.7, 1.6, 4.9, 1.2. Your assistant plots
the data from the second set of wells and the histogram of data from that sample
looks pretty much the same as for your data set. Which statistical test do you
anticipate that you will use?
An one-sample t-test
An unpaired, two-sample t-test
A paired, two-sample t-test
A one-way anova
A Mann-Whitney U test
