Pineal Gland Study. Dr. Marquez hypothesized that fluoride had a deleterious effect
on the pineal gland, which helps with sleeping. He measured the amount of fluoride in
Americans and compared it to the fluoride level in Europeans, where its use in drinking
water has been banned. He knew from reading the literature that the average fluoride
level in Europeans was 40 parts per million (ppm). He collected a
representative sample of 625 Americans and found that their fluoride level was 60 ppm
with a standard deviation of 250 ppm. What is the value of the z-test statistic?
Air pollutants common in U.S. cities include fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3). PM is measured as “inhalable” particles 10 micrometers in diameter or “fine inhalable” particles 2.5 micrometers in diameter. Suppose that studies show, for a particular region, that cities exceed PM2.5 standards 20% of the time and exceed ozone standards 10% of the time. Assume that PM2.5 and ozone measurements are statistically independent.
A) Determine the probability that a city, selected at random, exceeds one of the standards.
B) If a city exceeds the standards, what is the probability that it exceeds only the PM2.5 standard?
Measles is a highly contagious infection of the respiratory system and is caused by a virus. Despite the fact that more than 80% of the world’s population is vaccinated for it, measles remains the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. In general, the term pathogenesis refers to the way a disease originates and develops over time. In the case of measles, the virus enters through the respiratory tract and replicates there before spreading into the bloodstream and then the skin.The measles pathogenesis function used to model the development of the disease is given by the following equation: f (t) = −t (t − 21) (t + 1)
Where t is measured in days and f (t) represents the number of infected cells per millilitre [mL] of plasma. What is the peak infection time for the measles virus? Solve the above problem through the following steps:
(a)Expand equation f (t) = −t (t − 21) (t + 1) in fully.
(b) Calculate the first derivative f′ (t), of the equation found in part (a).
(c) Find the…

Geochemical surveys take soil samples to determine phosphorous content (in ppm, parts per million). A high phosphorous content may or may not indicate an ancient burial site, food storage site, or even a garbage dump. The Hill of Tara is a very important archaeological site in Ireland. It is by legend the seat of Ireland’s ancient high kings (Reference: Tara, An Archaeological Survey by Conor Newman, Royal Irish Academy, Dublin). Independent random samples from two regions in Tara gave the following phosphorous measurements (in ppm). Assume the population distributions of phosphorous are mound-shaped and symmetric for these two regions.

Lameness is a condition that can be detrimental to cattle since it can be painful and result in deleterious effects on the animal’s welfare. It is a condition in which cows have difficulty moving and especially walking. Investigators are interested in whether milk production in dairy cows is associated with whether or not the cow becomes lame. They think that the age of the cow (young or old) may confound and/or modify the relationship between milk production and lameness and so they collect information on the age of the cows as well. The data that cross classifies lame status and milk production status is stratified by age and provided in the tables below. Use SAS to complete each part. (a) Ignoring age, report the estimate for the OR and its corresponding 95% confidence interval. Interpret both. (b) Ignoring age, is milk production associated with lameness?

Some 85 million people in thousands of tiny settlements throughout Africa and parts of the Middle East and Latin America were thought to be at risk. The cause: a parasitic worm carried by a tiny black fly that bred along fast-moving rivers. When the flies bit humans — a single person could be bitten thousands of times a day — the larvae of a parasitic worm entered the body. These worms once inside caused terrible itching resulting, so bad that some victims committed suicide. Eventually they invaded the eyes, often causing blindness. The World Health Organization estimated in 1978 that some 340,000 people were blind because of onchocerciasis, and that a million more suffered from varying degrees of visual impairment.

As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. Risebrough, is titled “Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man” (Proceedings of the 6th Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, VI, University of California Press, pp. 443–463). In that study, 60 Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm).
