e. Suppose you tested another rat, giving it an amphetamine dose of 6. What is the predicted Z for this rat? What is the predicted raw score for this rat? f. (Bonus) Suppose you tested another rat, giving it an amphetamine dose of 200. The rat's maze performance score was 0. Is this data point an outlier? What do you think might have happened? Do you think it would be appropriate to exclude this data point from your study?

A researcher conducts a study examining how the brain chemical serotonin is related to aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Then the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. The data are as follows: Aggression and Serotonin Placebo Lowered Serotonin n1 = 15 n2 = 15 M1 = 14 M2 = 19 SS1 = 180.5 SS2 = 130 What is(are) the critical value(s) for this test? (Round to two decimal places, and if two tailed enter only the positive value)

A research neurologist is testing the effect of a drug on response time by injecting 100 rats with a dose of a particular drug and then testing their response time. The mean response time for rats not injected is known to be equal to 1.2 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.5 seconds. A random sample of 50 rats is taken from the population. The mean response time for these 50 injected rats is 1.1 seconds. Using Alpha = 0.01, and SD = 0.5 seconds. a. Set up the null and alternative hypothesis. b. Choose an appropriate test statistic, fill in all of the information, and solve for the test statistic.
