A researcher conducted a test to learn the effect of lead levels in human bodies. He collected the IQ scores for a random sample of subjects with low lead levels in their blood and another random sample of subjects with high lead levels in their blood. The summary of finding is listed below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean IQ score of people with low lead levels is higher than the mean IQ score of people with high lead levels.
We do not know the values of the population standard deviations.
I would like to know how to Calculate this in Excel.
Calculate the critical value, the test statistic, and p-value.
Make a decision about the null hypothesis and explain your reasoning, then make a conclusion about the claim in nontechnical terms.
Write the hypotheses in symbolic form, determine if the test is right-tailed, left-tailed, or two tailed and explain why.
| Low Lead level | High Lead Level | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| n1 | 78 | n2 | 21 |
| x-bar1 | 92.88 | x-bar2 | 86.9 |
| s1 | 15.34 | s2 | 8.99 |

There are different perspectives on human population growth and the dynamics associated with population change. Go to CIA World Factbook website and one developing country and compare the following and answer the questions:
Example of a developed country: China
Example of a developing country: Sudan
Please help me answer the following questions with the information I have provided above.
1. Why do you think the population is increasing or decreasing for that country? Try to explain at least two reasons as to why this is happening?
2. How do diseases affect the population? Can you think about any diseases that have affected the human population? (Please use peer reviewed sources to support your answer).
3. Looking at the countries you compared, what are the toxins present in the environment that impact human health? Provide one example for each country.

A nonscientist friend of yours asks how findings in a wormorfly can be relevant to human biology. Explain to your friend the importance of model organisms in molecular biology research.
1. Compare and contast one-dimensional SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of proteins.
2. You have purified a protein. When you subject it to SDS-PAGE, two bands are seen. Provide a possible explanation and describe how you could test your hypothesis.
3. Compare and contrast the steps in production of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies.
4. A chromatographic column in which oligo-dT is linked to an inert substance is useful in separating eukaryotic mRNA from other RNA molecules. On what principle does this column operate?
5. You plan to use the polymerase chain reaction to amplify part of the DNA sequence shown below, using oligonucleotide primers that are hexamers matching the regions shown in red. (In practice, hexamers are too short for most purposes). State the sequence of the primer oligonucleotides that should be used, including their polarity (5?3?), and give the sequence of the DNA molecule that results from amplification.

6. Complete the incomplete diagrams below to show the key structural difference between an NTP, dNTP, and ddNTP (e.g., CTP, dCTP, ddCTP).
What do “d” and “dd” stand for?
Explain why ddNTPs are called "chain terminators" in DNA sequencing reactions.

The human resources department of a consulting firm gives a standard creativity test to a randomly selected group of new hires every year. This year, 80 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 112.9 points with a standard deviation of 13.8. Last year, 60 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 117.1 points with a standard deviation of . 15.3 Assume that the population standard deviations of the test scores of all new hires in the current year and the test scores of all new hires last year can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 95% confidence interval for µ1-µ2 , the difference between the mean test score µ1 of new hires from the current year and the mean test score µ2 of new hires from last year. Then complete the table below.
Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to at least two decimal places.

1) Because of the mass involved in constructing and transporting a lander, the first human expedition to Mars will likely be an orbital mission. A geosynchronous orbit seems plausible, allowing astronauts in the spacecraft to have continuous line-of-sight control of rovers on the surface. What is the altitude above the surface of Mars for geosynchronous orbit? You’ll need to do some research to find the mass of Mars and its rotation period.
2) Using the expression for the escape velocity from a
planet.
a) Describe the physics that went into your derivation of the
escape velocity and list the formula again.
b) Use this formula to calculate the escape velocity of Mars and
compare it with Earth. List the sources where you obtained the
properties of each planet for your calculation.
c) What insight might you glean from the above calculation on why
Mars has a thinner atmosphere than the Earth?
3) Assuming that the outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are in equilibrium with the solar radiation, calculate the effective surface temperature of these 3 planets and show all intermediate steps. You can assume albedos of 0.5, 0.6, and 0.6, for Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, respectively. The solar luminosity is 3.83 x 1026 W. How do these temperatures compare with their observed temperatures?
