Chapter 5, Problem 85E
Suppose the hypothetical data below are from a toxicity study designed to measure the effectiveness of different doses of a pesticide on mosquitoes. The table below summarizes the concentration of the pesticide, the
- a. Make a
scatterplot of the proportions of mosquitoes killed versus the pesticide concentration. - b. Using the techniques introduced in this section, calculate
- c. The point at which the dose kills 50% of the mosquitoes is sometimes called LD50, for “Lethal dose 50%.” What would you estimate LD50 to be for this pesticide when used on mosquitoes?

- 1. Can balloons hold more air or more water before bursting? A student purchased a large bag of 12-inch balloons. He randomly selected 10 balloons from the bag and then randomly assigned half of them to be filled with air until bursting and the other half to be filled with water until bursting. He used devices to measure the amount of air and water was dispensed until the balloons burst. Here's the data: Air (ft') Water (ft) 0.52 0.44 0.58 0.41 0.50 0.55 0.46 0.61 0.38 0.45 Does the data give convincing evidence air filled balloons can attain a greater volume than water filled balloons?arrow_forwardTwo different analytical methods were used to determine residual chlorine in sewage effluents.
