Summary Introduction
To determine:
The increase in heart disease is due to trans-fat consumption then plot a relationship on the graph.
Introduction:
Trans fat is an unhealthy substance which is prepared by the chemical process of hydrogenation of oils. Trans fats increase bad cholesterol levels and decrease the good cholesterol levels. Consuming trans fats raises heart disease and stroke risk.

Draw a graph of V0 vs. [S] (Michaelis-Menten plot) for these data.
Put both sets of data on the one graph, use a different symbol of each plot and indicate which set of data is which. Make sure your graph has appropriate axis labels and units. You do not need to insert trend lines (as there is no rectangular hyperbola trendline in EXCEL).
If you mix together an equal number of F+ and F− cells, how would you expect the proportions to change over time? In other words, do you expect an increase in the relative proportion of F+ or of F− cells? Explain your answer.
Determine the cause-effect relationship of the following variables given. Choose the best answer that describes the possible changes in the variable (Y) because of the changes done to the variable (X).
Reduced consumption of meat (x) vs. amino acid pool (y)

- What does P-value indicate? In statistical analysis the results for two sets of data are presented with P < 0.01 and P<0.005. What does it mean?arrow_forwardThe mean weight of loaves of bread produced at the bakery where you work is supposed to be 1 pound. You are the supervisor of quality control at the bakery, and you are concerned that new employees are producing loaves that are too light. Suppose you weigh an SRS of bread loaves and find that the mean weight is 0.975 pound. What are the appropriate hypotheses for performing this significance test? Ho : x = 1; H. : x < 1 where i = the sample mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery. Ho : u = 1; H. : µ < 1 where u = the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery. Ho : µ < 1; H, : H = 1 where u = the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery. Ho : u = 1; H. : p = 0.975 where u= the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery. Ho : u = 1; H. : u # 1 where u= the true mean weight (in pounds) of bread loaves produced at the bakery.arrow_forwardIn tilapia fish farming, 8 tons of high-quality feed resulted in a weight gain of 8,000 lb.

- Please provide examples of the (Hardy-Weinberg Law P^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1)arrow_forwardDr. Vanier’s daughter Lexy thinks that the snacking habit alone does not cause weight loss. She believes that one needs to combine no snacking with the elimination of carbohydrates in their meals. Please explain how Dr. Vanier may test this hypothesis by describing the research design. Specify the independent variable(s), dependent variable(s), and the name of the design. Finally, describe what she needs to find (i.e., what type of effect and what it looks like) in the experiment to support her hypothesis. ( name the IV(s); 1name the DV(s); name the design; then explain the effect that will support the hypothesis)arrow_forward1) You compare the height and weight of 5 adult women. You get the following results:height 60 67 62 70 66weight 119 143 131 155 136(a) Construct a scatter plot of height (x) vs. weight (y)(b) Calculate the following (show your work for SScp):SSx SSy SScp ̄x ̄y(c) Calculate the correlation coefficient (r)2) Use the information from problem 1. Perform a complete test of the hypothesis that the populationcorrelation coefficient (ρ) is 0. Show all steps (note - obviously this should be a one sided test! Make sure youknow why!).3) Now let's assume you wanted to predict weights from heights. In other words, now let's use the same datafrom problem (1) and do a regression instead.(a) Calculate b0 and b1.(b) Carefully draw your least square regression line on the plot you made in 1(a). (Don't just “sketch”,be a little careful).4) (a) Now do a significance test of H0: β1 = 0. Show all your calculations (including your residualcalculations). Again, note that this should be a one sided test…arrow_forward
