The article “Secretion of Parathyroid Hormone Oscillates Depending on the Change in Scrum Ionized Calcium During Hemodialysis and May Affect Bone Metabolism” (T. Kitahara, K. Ueki ct al., Nephron Clinical Practice, 2005:c9–cl7) presents measurements of basal ionized calcium (Ca) levels for four groups of patients with differing levels of basal intact parathyroid hormone (PTH). The following results are consistent with means and standard deviations presented in the article.
- a. Construct an ANOVA table. You may give a
range for the P-value. - b. Can you conclude that there are differences among the
mean Ca levels?

- Captopril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were treated with this drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the accompanying table (based on data from "Essential Hypertension: Effect of an Oral Inhibitor of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme," by MacGregor et al., British Medical Journal, Vol. 2). Using a 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that captopril has an effect on systolic blood pressure?arrow_forwardThe article "Effect of Refrigeration on the Potassium Bitartrate Stability and Composition of Italian Wines" (A. Versari, D. Barbanti, et al., Italian Journal of Food Science, 2002:45- 52) reports a study in which eight types of white wine had their tartaric acid concentration (in g/L) measured both before and after a cold stabilization process. The results are presented in the following table: Wine Type Before After Difference 2.86 2.59 0.27 2.85 2.47 0.38 3 1.84 1.58 0.26 4 1.60 1.56 0.04 0.80 0.78 0.02 6. 0.89 0.66 0.23 2.03 1.87 0.16 1.90 1.71 0.19 Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between the tartaric acid concentrations before and after the cold stabilization process.arrow_forward1.

- The article "Modeling of Urban Area Stop-and-Go Traffic Noise" (P. Pamanikabud and C. Tharasawatipipat, Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1999:152–159) presents measurements of traffic noise, in dBA, from 10 locations in Bangkok, Thailand. Measurements, presented in the following table, were made at each location, in both the acceleration and deceleration lanes. Location Acceleration Deceleration 78.1 78.6 78.1 80.0 3 79.6 79.3 4 81.0 79.1 78.7 78.2 78.1 78.0 78.6 78.6 78.5 78.8 78.4 78.0 10 79.6 78.4 Can you conclude that there is a difference in the mean noise levels between acceleration and deceleration lanes?arrow_forwardA 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_forwardTransepidermal water loss (TEWL) is a measure of the rate that water crosses the skin through diffusion and evaporation. In general, damaged skin has a higher TEWL than nondamaged skin. A report submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Therapeutic Equivalence of Topical Products, A. Bunge, B. N'Dri-Stempfer, et al., 2007) described an experiment in which the outer layer of skin on a small area of the foream was partially removed in order to measure the concentration of a certain drug. TEWL (in g/m? per hour) was measured both before and after skin removal. The results for 10 individuals were as follows.

- Young Adults at Risk. Research by R. Pyhala et al. shows that young adults who were born prematurely with very low birth weights (below 1500 grams) have higher blood pressure than those born at term. The study can be found in the article, “Blood Pressure Responses to Physiological Stress in Young Adults with Very Low Birth Weight” (Pediatrics, Vol. 123, No. 2, pp. 731–734). The researchers found that systolic blood pressures of young adults who were born prematurely with very low birth weights have mean 120.7 mm Hg and standard deviation 13.8 mm Hg. a. Identify the population and variable. b. For samples of 30 young adults who were born prematurely with very low birth weights, find the mean and standard deviation of all possible sample mean systolic blood pressures. Interpret your results in words. c. Repeat part (b) for samples of size 90.arrow_forwardCONSTRUCT MODIFIED BOXPLOT To understand better the effects of exercise and aging on various cireulatory functions, the article "Cardiac Output in Male Middle-Aged Runners" (Journal of Sports Medicine [1982]: 17–22) presented data from a study of 21 middle-aged male runners.

- In a certain article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically ill patients. To measure pain threshold, a machine was used that delivered low-voltage direct current to different parts of the body (wrist, neck, and back). The machine measured current in milliamperes (mA). The pretreatment experimental group in the study had an average threshold of pain (pain was first detectable) at u = 3.22 mA with standard deviation o = 1.21 mA. Assume that the distribution of threshold pain, measured in milliamperes, is symmetric and more or less mound-shaped. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 68% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain from mA to mA (b) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 95% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain from mA to…arrow_forwardIn a certain article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically Ill patients.

For a sample of 50 low- birth-weight babies, the sample mean zinc level was 17.00 and the standard error was 0.43.
