3- Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a hormone that plays an important role in childhc growth and may be associated with several types of cancer. In some studies, it is measured in serum, and in other studies it is measured in plasma. Blood plasma is prepared by spinning a tube of fresh blood containing an anti-coagulant in a centrifuge until the blood cells fall to the bottom. The blood plasma is then poured or drawn off. Blood serum is blood plasma without clotting factors (i.e., whole blood minus both the cells and the clotting factors). In a multi-center study, IGF-1 was measured in some centers with serum and in other centers with plasma. The following results were obtained: TABLE 8.33 Comparison of IGF-11evels measured in serum vs. plasma IGF-1 (ng/mL) mean sd serum 140 149.1 42.3 plasma 404 136.6 49.0 Assuming that the distribution of IGF-1 is approximately normal, and equality of the variances, nat test can be used to compare the mean IGF-1 obtained from the two sources? Perform the test in Problem (i) and write your interpretation.

Researchers are studying pomegranate’s antioxidant properties to see if it might have any beneficial effects in the treatment of cancer. One such study investigated whether pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) was effective in slowing the growth of prostate cancer tumors. In this study, 24 mice were injected with cancer cells, then the mice were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. The data on y = average tumor volume (in mm3) and x = number of days after injection of cancer cells for the mice that received plain drinking water is shown in picture below: a. Find (to three decimal places) zy, and zxzy for the pair (23,580): zy = zxzy = b. Compute Pearson’s sample correlation coefficient for the given data to four decimal places. c. Compute the slope, b, for the least-squares regression line to two decimal places d. Use b to calculate a and write the equation for the least-squares regression line a= y= e.

The radiant energy E of a body is E = kT^, where T is the temperature of the body and k > 0 is a constant. If the temperature of the body is a random variable with density 15x104 » 10 < t< 20, fr(t) = - 0, o.w., find the density function of the radiant energy E.
I want to assess whether or not students produce more stress hormones (cortisol) after watching different types of movies. I collect saliva samples (to assess cortisol, stress) from students after they watch an action movie and then another (two days later) after they watch a horror movie. The amount of stress hormone in the saliva is measured as ng/mL.Test the hypothesis that saliva cortisol levels will be different between the two genres of movies at an alpha of 0.05. (Have action - horror be set for your differences).

A group of researchers are working to determine the historic sea levels of the body of water. They are attempting to do this by taking samples around the body of water and in a nearby cave and after analyzing sediment cores from around the body of water to those in the cave. The Climatologist that is working in the cave is trying to determine the age and growth rate of stalactites, to get a more accurate picture of the age of the existing stalactites. The following table contains the estimated age (to the nearest thousand) of the sample and the length of the sample in micrometers. Find a linear model that express length as a function of the age.

Carbon dioxide is known to have a critical effect on microbiological growth. Small amounts of CO2 stimulate growth of some organisms, whereas high concentrations inhibit the growth of most. The latter effect is used commercially when perishable food products are stored. A study is conducted to investigate the effect of CO2 on the growth rate of pseudomonas fragi, a food-spoiling organism. Carbon dioxide is administered at five predetermined different atmospheric pressures. The response measured was the percentage change in cell mass after 1-hour growing time. Ten cultures were used at each atmospheric pressure level, resulting in the following data: 0.0 .083 .29 .50 .86 62.6 50.9 45.5 29.5 24.9 59.6 44.3 41.1 22.8 17.2 64.5 47.5 29.8 19.2 7.8 59.3 49.5 38.3 20.6 10.5 58.6 48.5 40.2 29.2 17.8 64.6 50.4 38.5 24.1 22.1 50.9 35.2 30.2 22.6 22.6 56.2 49.9 27.0 32.7 16.8 52.3…

Ramp metering is a traffic engineering idea that requires cars entering a freeway to stop for a certain period of time before joining the traffic flow. The theory is that ramp metering controls the number of cars on the freeway and the number of cars accessing the freeway, resulting in a freer flow of cars, which ultimately results in faster travel times. To test whether ramp metering is effective in reducing travel times, engineers conducted an experiment in which a section of freeway had ramp meters installed on the on-ramps. The response variable for the study was speed of the vehicles. A random sample of 15 cars on the highway for a Monday at 6 p.m. with the ramp meters on and a second random sample of 15 cars on a different Monday at 6 pm with the meters off resulted in the following speeds (in miles per hour). (a) Uraw side-by-side Doxplots of each data set Does there appear to be a merence in the speeds? Are there any outlers? Choose the correct Dox plot below. A. 0 Off 15 30 45…
The aging Neotropical termites (Neocapritermes taracua) secrete a sticky, blue-colored liquid that they spew to intruding termites. The younger Neotropical termites secrete a liquid that lacks the blue component, so it is white in appearance. In an experiment that measured the toxicity of the blue substance, the researchers placed one drop of either the blue liquid or the white liquid on individuals of a second termite species, Labiotermes labralis. Of the 41 Labiotermes labralis that got the blue drop, 37 were immobilized. Of the 40 Labiotermes labralis that got the white drop, 9 were immobilized. Is the blue liquid toxic compared to the white liquid?
