From “The Practice of Statistics in the Life Sciences” by Baldi and Moore. Obesity in adult males is associated with lower levels of sex hormone. A study investigated a possible link between obesity and plasma testosterone concentrations in adolescent males between the ages of 14 and 20 years. Here are the data for 25 obese adolescent males, measured in nanomoles per liter of blood (nmol/l): 0.30 0.24 0.19 0.17 0.18 0.23 0.24 0.06 0.15 0.17 0.18 0.17 0.15 0.12 0.25...

From ”The Basic Practice of Statistics” by Moore. Many people who come to clinics to be tested for HIV don’t come back to learn the test results. Clinics now use ”rapid HIV tests” that give a result while the client waits. In a particular clinic use of rapid tests increased the percent of clients who learned their test results from 69% to 99.7%. The trade-off for fast results is that rapid tests are less accurate than slower laboratory tests. Applied...

In the “Probable Error of a Mean” by William Gossett the following example was used. Yields of corn in pounds per acre were calculated for kiln-dried seed and seed that was not dried. (It was believed in the day that kiln-dried seed produces a higher yield). The yield values for dried seed were: 2009, 1915, 2011, 2463, 2180, 1925, 2122, 1482, 1542, 1443, 1535 The yields achieved with regular seed were: 1903, 1935, 1910, 2496, 2108, 1961, 2060, 1444, 1612,...
