Textbook Question
Chapter 6.1, Problem 11P
Pain Management: Laser Therapy “Effect of Helium-Neon Laser Auriculotherapy on Experimental Pain Threshold” is the title of an article in the journal Physical Therapy (Vol. 70, No. 1, pp. 24–30). In this article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically ill patients. To measure pain threshold, a machine was used that delivered low-voltage direct current to different parts of the body (wrist, neck, and back). The machine measured current in milliamperes (mA). The pretreatment experimental group in the study had an average threshold of pain (pain was first detectable) at μ 5 3.15mA with standard deviation σ = 1.45mA. Assume that the distribution of threshold pain, measured in milliamperes, is symmetric and more or less mound-shaped. Use the
- (a) estimate a
range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 68% of the experimental group had a threshold of pain. - (b) estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 95% of the experimental group had a threshold of pain.

PLS SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION. DONT ROUND OFF. USE Z-TABLE.
An article in Industrial Quality Control (1956, pp. 5–8) describes an experiment to investigate
the effect of glass type and phosphor type on the brightness of a television tube. The response
measured is the current necessary (in microamps) to obtain a specified brightness level. The
data are shown in Table 13E.1.
(1) Specify the factors of the experiments, and how many levels for each factor.
(2) Completes the ANOVA table, and draw conclusion: whether the glass type, the
Phosphor type, and their interaction have an effect on the brightness? Please use F-
values with α = 0.05 to draw your conclusion.
Estriol Level and Birth Weight. J. Greene and J. Touchstone conducted a study on the relationship between the estriol levels of pregnant women and the birth weights of their children. Their findings, “Urinary Tract Estriol: An Index of Placental Function,” were published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Vol. 85(1), pp. 1–9). The data from the study are provided on the WeissStats site, where estriol levels are in mg/24 hr and birth weights are in hectograms.
a. Decide whether finding a regression line for the data is reasonable. If so, then also do parts (b)–(d).
b. Obtain the coefficient of determination.
c. Determine the percentage of variation in the observed values of the response variable explained by the regression, and interpret your answer.
d. State how useful the regression equation appears to be for making predictions.

Recent research has questioned its effectiveness [Journal of Atmospheric Research (2010, Vol. 97 (2), pp. 513-525)]. An experiment was performed by randomly assigning 52 clouds to be seeded or not.

- Using specific data, we find a significant difference in the proportion of fruit flies surviving after 13 days between those eating organic potatoes and those eating conventional (not organic) potatoes. This exercise asks you to conduct a hypothesis test using additional data. In this case, we are testing Ho: Po = Pc Ha: Po > Pc o where p and p represent the proportion of fruit flies alive at the end of the given time frame of those eating organic food and those eating conventional food, respectively. Use a 5 % significance level. Effect of Organic Bananas After 25 Days After 25 days, the proportion of fruit flies eating organic bananas still alive is 0.44, while the proportion still alive eating conventional bananas is 0.41. The standard error for the difference in proportions is 0.032. What is the value of the test statistic? Round your answer to two decimal places. Z = i What is the p-value?

Philosophical and health issues are prompting an increasing number of Taiwanese to switch to a vegetarian lifestyle. In the paper “LDL of Taiwanese Vegetarians Are Less Oxidizable than Those of Omnivores” (Journal of Nutrition, Vol. 130, pp. 1591–1596), S. Lu et al. compared the daily intake of nutrients by vegetarians and omnivores living in Taiwan. Among the nutrients considered was protein. Too little protein stunts growth and interferes with all bodily functions; too much protein puts a strain on the kidneys, can cause diarrhea and dehydration, and can leach calcium from bones and teeth. The daily protein intakes, in grams, for 51 female vegetarians and 53 female omnivores are provided on the WeissStats site.
