An experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new drug on a viral infection. After the infection was induced in 100 mice, the mice were randomly split into two groups of 50. The first group, the control group, received no treatment for the infection, and the second group received the drug. After a 30-day period, the proportions of survivors, p?₁ and p?₂, in the two groups were found to be 0.32 and 0.60, respectively.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.

Density of plastic

Your challenge in this experiment is to determine the density of a mystery plastic, using two different step-by-step procedures. For sufficient error analysis, each method should be completed at least twice (e.g., Method A: Trial #1 & Trial #2; Method B: Trial #1 & Trial #2).
The plastic is in the form of small (~1 cm), irregularly shaped pieces. You will have access to several pieces of the plastic. The irregular shapes mean that it will not be possible to calculate the volume of the pieces by measuring their dimensions. In addition to the normal chemistry laboratory equipment and water, there will be methanol and ethylene glycol available in the lab this week.

My question is

Write two detailed, step-by-step procedures that use different ways to determine the density of the plastic.

In a hurry to complete the experiment, Joseph failed to calibrate the spectrophotometer. As a result, all absorbance values for the standard solutions that are measured and recorded are too high. How will this affect the following for the Test Solutions in Parts B and C? a: will the equilibrium concentrations of FeNCS2+ be too high, too low, or unaffected? Explain b: Will the equilibrium concentrations of Fe3+ be too high, too low, or unaffected? Explain. c: Will the calculated equilibrium constants be too high, too low, or unaffected? Explain

2. At the 1% significance level, do you reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis?
3. At the 15% significance level, do you reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis?

An experiment was conducted for better understanding of the effectiveness of a particular type of drug for reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) level. The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether different dosages used have significant different outcomes in average LDL reduction. Twenty subjects with LDL at around 250 to 300 mg/dL had participated in the study and were randomly divided into four groups. Each group was given a specific level of dosage of the drug each day for one month, with a control group that only provided with placebo. The reduction in LDL was recorded and showed in the following table. Positive number indicates reduction and negative numbers indicates increasing in DLD. Use statistical software to analyze the data and answer the following question.

Perform a One-way ANOVA test to see if there is significant difference between the outcomes from the four treatment groups, at 5% level of significance, by answering the following questions.

In a laboratory experiment to investigate the effect of sewage effluent on the fecundity of freshwater shrimps (Gammarus pulex) a number of populations of shrimps were placed into large vessels with different concentrations of organic matter. Females from each vessel were then dissected to see how many eggs they were carrying.

(i) Plot a graph of the relationship using R/SPSS. Obtain estimates of the slope and intercept of the line of best fit through the data and predict the mean fecundity of Gammarus when reared with 3.2 g/l organic matter.

(ii) Test the NH that there is no underlying linear relationship (i.e. zero slope at population level) between fecundity and organic matter. Visually examine the distribution of residuals and comment on whether the assumptions of the test appear valid. What is the estimated variance (i.e. the estimated “error”) of residuals around the fitted line?

An experiment was performed to determine the effect of four different chemicals on the strength of a fabric. These chemicals are used as part of the permanent press finishing process. Five fabric samples were selected, and a randomized complete block design was run by testing each chemical type once in random order on each fabric sample. The data are shown in Table below. test for differences in means using an ANOVA with α=0.01 Fabric Sample Chemical Type 1 2 3 4 5 1 1.3 1.6 0.5 1.2 1.1 2 2.2 2.4 0.4 2.0 1.8 3 1.8 1.7 0.6 1.5 1.3 4 3.9 4.4 2.0 4.1 3.4
