Biologists studying the healing of skin wounds measured the time taken for new cells to close a razor cut made in the skin of an anesthetized newt. Based on the data from 10 newts, the following 98% confidence interval for the mean healing time for all newts of this species was produced, (30.28, 43.58). What was the sample standard deviation? |

Biologists studying the healing of skin wounds measured the rate at which new cells closed a cut made in the skin of an anesthetized newt. Here are data from a random sample of 18 newts, measured in micrometers (millionths of a meter) per hour: 29, 27, 34, 40, 22, 28, 14, 35, 26, 35, 12, 30, 23, 18, 11, 22, 23, 33 (b) Regardless of your answer to (a), assume the population distribution is normal and use that assumption to...
Please provide the step by step calculation for these questions. Biology 280; Spring 2019 Homework 1a 1.3) Children's food choices. (Page 13) Do popular cartoon characters on food packages influence children's food choices? A study asked 40 young children (ages four to six) to taste graham crackers presented in a package either with or without a popular cartoon character, and to indicate whether the two foods tasted the same or one tasted better. Unknown to the children, the crackers were...
A new idea for treating advanced melanoma, the most serious kind of skin cancer: Genetically engineer white blood cells to better recognize and destroy cancer cells, and then infuse these cells into patients. The subjects in a small initial study of this treatment were 1111 patients whose melanoma had not responded to existing treatments. One question was how rapidly the new cells would multiply after infusion, as measured by the doubling time (in days). The doubling times are provided: 1.41.4...
