Chapter 10.3, Problem 25E
Lipids provide much of the dietary energy in the bodies of infants and young children. There is a growing interest in the quality of the dietary lipid supply during infancy as a major determinant of growth, visual and neural development, and long-term health. The article “Essential Fat Requirements of Preterm Infants” (Amer. J. of Clinical Nutrition, 2000: 245S–250S) reported the following data on total polyunsaturated fats (%) for infants who were randomized to four different feeding regimens: breast milk, corn-oil-based formula, soy-oil-based formula, or soy-and-marine-oil-based formula:
| Sample | Sample | Sample | |
| Regimen | Si/e | Mean | SD |
| Breast milk | 8 | 43.0 | 1.5 |
| CO | 13 | 42.4 | 1.3 |
| SO | 17 | 43.1 | 1.2 |
| SMO | 14 | 43.5 | 1.2 |
a. What assumptions must be made about the four total polyunsaturated fat distributions before carrying out a single-factor ANOVA to decide whether there are any differences in true average fat content?
b. Carry out the test suggested in part (a). What can be said about the P-value?

An article in Lubrication Engineering (December 1990) described the results of an experiment designed to investigate the effects of carbon material properties on the progression of blisters on carbon face seals. The carbon face seals are used extensively in equipment such as air turbine starters. Four different carbon materials were tested, and the surface roughness was measured. The data are as follows:

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme that is thought to play a role in the regulation of behavior. To see whether different categories of patients with schizophrenia have different levels of MAO activity, researchers collected blood specimens from 42 patients and measured the MAO activity in the platelets. The results are partially summarized in the accompanying tables. Table 2. Summary measures for the MAO activity in the blood of 42 patients as categorized according to the type of schizophrenia.

In the publication “How Often Do Fishes ‘Run on Empty’?” (Ecology, Vol. 83, No 8, pp. 2145–2151), D. Arrington et al. examined almost 37,000 fish of 254 species from the waters of Africa, South and Central America, and North America to determine the percentage of fish with empty stomachs. The fish were classified as piscivores (fish-eating), invertivores (invertibrateeating), omnivores (anything-eating) and algivores/detritivores (eating algae and other organic matter). For those fish in African waters, the data on theWeissStats site give the proportions of each species of fish with empty stomachs. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the mean percentages of fish with empty stomachs among the four different types of feeders? a. conduct a one-way ANOVA test on the data. b. interpret your results from part (a). c. decide whether presuming that the assumptions of normal populations and equal…arrow_forwardAn article in Lubrication Engineering (December 1990) described the results of an experiment designed to investigate the effects of carbon material properties on the progression of blisters on carbon face seals.

- Water loss: Human skin loses water through evaporation, and, in general, damaged skin loses water at a faster rate than undamaged skin. In a study in which the outer layer of skin on a small section of the forearm was partially removed, water loss (in /gm2 per hour) was measured both before and after skin removal. The results for ten individuals were as follows: Subject Before After 1 18 20 2 12 28 3 15 18 4 18 26 5 18 23 6 13 23 7 12 19 8 17 21 9 16 23 10 14 27 Send data to Excel Part: 0 / 2 0 of 2 Parts Complete Part 1 of 2 (a)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean increase in water loss.

Most of the body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, where it functions to support their structure. Recommendations for calcium are provided in Dietary Reference Intakes, developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. The recommended adequate intake (RAI) for calcium for adults (ages 19-50) is 1000 mg per day. A random sample of 18 adults with incomes below the poverty level gave the following calcium intakes:886 633 943 847 934 8411193 820 774 834 1050 10581192 975 1313 872 1079 809Assume the population standard deviation for daily calcium intake for adults with incomes below the poverty level is 188mg.At the 0.05 level of significance, does the data provided above provide evidence to suggest that the mean calcium intake of all adults with incomes below the poverty level is less than the RAI pf 1000mg per day?
