An experiment was conducted to examine the influence of avian pancreatic polypeptide (aPP), cholecystokinin (CCK), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and secretin on pancreatic
and biliary secretions in laying hens. In particular, researchers were concerned with the extent to which these hormones increase or decrease biliary and pancreatic flows and their pH values.
White leghorn hens, 14−29 weeks of age, were surgically fitted with cannulas for collecting pancreatic and biliary secretions and a jugular cannula for continuous infusion of aPP, CCK, VIP, or secretin. One trial per day was conducted on a hen, as long as her implanted cannulas remained
Each trial began with infusion of physiologic saline for 20 minutes. At the end of this period, pancreatic and biliary secretions were collected and the cannulas were attached to new vials. The biliary and pancreatic flow rates (in microliters per minute) and pH values (if possible) were measured. Infusion of a hormone was then begun and continued for 40 minutes. Measurements were then repeated.
Data Set HORMONE.DAT (at www.cengagebrain com) contains data for the four hormones and saline, where saline indicates trials in which physiologic saline was infused in place of an active hormone during the second period. Each trial is one record in the file. There are 11 variables associated with each trial, as shown in Table 8.22.
Table 8.22 Format of HORMONE.DAT
Assess whether there are significant changes in secretion rates or pH levels with any of the hormones or with saline.

- A study was conducted to examine the effect of diet cola consumption on calcium levels in women. A sample of 16 healthy women aged 18 to 40 were randomly assigned to drink 24 ounces of either diet cola or water. Their urine was collected for three hours after ingestion of the beverage and calcium excretion (in mg) was measured. The data are stored in ColaCalcium.arrow_forwardA recent study examined the effects of carbon monoxide exposure to a group of construction workers.

Nine of the men were randomly selected to take a capsule containing pure caffeine one hour before the test. The other men received a placebo capsule. During each exercise the subject's respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was measured. (RER is the ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed and is an indicator of whether energy is being obtained from carbohydrates or fats).

- A study of the effect of caffeine on muscle metabolism used 24 male volunteers who each underwent arm exercise tests. 12 of the men were randomly selected to take a capsule containing pure caffeine one hour before the test. The other men received a placebo capsule. During each exercise the subject's respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was measured. (RER is the ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed and is an indicator of whether energy is being obtained from carbohydrates or fats).

Seeber et al. (2020) investigated various aspects of immunological responses in captive and free-ranging zebras. One aspect of the study involved samples of 12 free-ranging zebras from Namibia, 9 from Tanzania, and 38 captive zebras from various zoos in Europe. (All of these were non-lactating females.) One of the measured variables from blood samples was lysozyme concentration (μg/L). (Lysozyme is a biomarker of the immune response.) The researchers were interested in investigating possible differences in lysozyme concentration between zebras in the various locations. As part of the analysis, they carried out a one-way ANOVA on the lysozyme concentrations for the zebras from the 3 locations, and found the following output. Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) Location 2 50.65 25.33 42.24 6.54e-12Residuals 56 33.57 0.60 Suppose the assumptions of one-way ANOVA…arrow_forward

She found that women with higher cortisol responses to stress ate significantly more sweet food and consumed more calories on the stress day compared with those with low cortisol responses, and compared with themselves on lower stress days. Increases in negative mood in response to the stressors were also significantly related to greater food consumption. These results suggest that psychophysiological responses to stress may influence subsequent eating behavior. Over time, these alterations could impact both weight and health. You are interested in studying whether college juniors or college sophomores consume more calories.

- The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations mandated that hospitals ban smoking by 1994. To study the effects of this ban on smoking behaviors, subjects were randomly selected from two different populations: those from hospitals with the ban and those from hospitals without the ban. Investigators were interested in determining if this smoking ban had any impact on the proportion of smokers employed at each hospital that then quit smoking. Let px be the proportion of smokers from hospitals that implemented the ban who quit smoking during the study period. Let py be the proportions of smokers from hospitals without the ban who quit smoking during the study period. Please select the appropriate hypotheses. H0: px = 0.50 HA: px ≠ 0.50 H0: px-py ≥ 0 HA: px-py H0: px-py ≤ 0 HA: px-py > 0 H0: px-py = 0 HA: px-py ≠ 0arrow_forwardIn a study conducted in the Science Department of Faculty of Science, Technology and Human Development in a University; the researcher examined the influence of the drug succinylcholine on the circulation levels of androgens in the blood. Blood samples from wild, free-ranging deer were obtained via the jugular vein immediately after an intramuscular injection of succinylcholine using darts and a capture gun. Deer were bled again approximately 30 minutes after the injection and then released. The level of androgens at time of capture and 30 minutes later, measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), for 15 deers as in Table Q1. Assuming that the populations of androgen at time of injection and 30 minutes later are normally distributed:i) Find the average and standard deviation of this studyii)Determine the critical region of this problem.iii) Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether the androgen concentrations are altered after 30 minutes of restraint.arrow_forwardResearchers have shown that cigarette smoking has a deleterious effect on lung function. In their study of the effect of cigarette smoking on the carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DL) of the lung, Ronald Knudson, W. Kaltenborn and B. Burrows found that current smokers had DL readings significantly lower than either ex-smokers or nonsmokers. The carbon monoxide diffusing capacity for a random sample of current smokers was as follows: 103.768 88.602 73.003 123.086 91.052 92.295 61.675 90.677 84.023 76.014 100.615 88.017 71.210 82.115 89.222 102.754 108.579 73.154 106.755 90.479 Do these data indicate that the mean DL reading for current smokers is lower than 100, the average DL reading for nonsmokers?
