Wesson (1976) examined the influence of the drug succinylcholine on the circulation levels of androgens in the blood. Blood samples from wild deer were obtained after an intramuscular injection of the drug using darts and a capture gun. Deer were bled again 30 minutes after the injection, and then released. The dataset on 10 such deer are available in the dataset named ‘Problem 5’. Test with a significance level of 0.05 whether the androgen concentrations are altered after 30 minutes of restraint. (Note: Testing the difference of means)
Deer | Levels at time of injection | Levels at 30 minutes after injection |
1 | 2.76 | 7.02 |
2 | 5.18 | 3.1 |
3 | 2.68 | 5.44 |
4 | 3.05 | 3.99 |
5 | 4.1 | 5.21 |
6 | 7.05 | 10.26 |
7 | 6.6 | 13.91 |
8 | 4.79 | 18.53 |
9 | 7.39 | 7.91 |
10 | 7.3 | 4.85 |
