Summary Introduction
To describe:
If the government should support banning the trans-fat in private business to sell to costumers or not.
Introduction:
The fatty acids can be defined as the carboxylic acids comprised of hydrocarbon chain with carboxylgroup at the terminal end. These fatty acids are found abundantly in the oils and the fats. Depending ontheir structure, they can be classified as trans-fat or cis fats.

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?
The relationship between weight (in kilograms) and gender was estimated as below in a linear format.
(Male was coded as 0 and Female was coded as 1.)
Weight = -10.23 * Female + 66.73
(The p-value for the coefficient of Female is 0.03.)
Base on the above equation, which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply. There can be more than one answer.)
Answer options:
In the sample used to estimate the equation, the average weight of females is 66.23 kilograms
In the sample used to estimate the equation, the average weight of females is 56.5 kilograms
In the sample used to estimate the equation, the average weight of males is 66.73 kilograms
Females are expected to weigh 10.23 kilograms less than males
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).

- The 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_forwardIf you mix together an equal number of F+ and F− cells, how would you expect the proportions to change over time?

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.

- Can you help find the true statement of this problem?arrow_forwardI'm having trouble finding the dependent and independent variables of this scenaro: Average IQ scores for young school children are known to be 100 (SD = 15). However, the literature indicates that children’s intelligence may be decreased if their mothers have German measles during pregnancy. Using hospital records, a researcher obtained a sample of n = 25 school children whose mothers all had German measles during their pregnancies. Do the data indicate that children born to mothers who had German measles during the pregnancy have significantly lower IQ scores than typical young school children?arrow_forwardWhat does the Apgar score measure?arrow_forward
