Six mice were randomly selected and injected with a dose of a drug to see how it affects their reaction time. After injection, each mouse was put into a maze and the time it take the mouse to get through the maze was recorded (in seconds). What is the variable of interest in this experiment? the sampled mice the maze reaction time (in seconds) all mice the drug dose

What is the independent variable in this scenario? Twelve mice are given different doses of a sedative drug to see how much time is required for each mouse to fall asleep. Three of the mice are given a "high" dose, three mice are given a "medium" dose, and three of them are given a "low" dose, while the last three mice are given a placebo dose (one which does not contain the actual sedative drug). The time at which each mouse falls asleep is recorded, and the experiment is repeated for three trials.

A neurologist is testing the effect of a drug on response time by injecting 121 rats with a unit dose of the drug, subjecting each to neurological stimulus, and recording its response time. The neurologist knows that the mean response time for rats not injected with the drug is 1.5 seconds. The mean of the 121 injected rats' response time is 1.55 seconds with a sample standard deviation of 0.1 seconds. Do you think that the drug has an effect on raising the response time? And why?

Drug Concentration After a certain drug is injected into a patient, the concentration $c$ of the drug in the bloodstream is monitored. At time $t \geq 0$ (in minutes since the injection) the concentration (in mg/L) is given by $$c(t)=\frac{30 t}{t^{2}+2}$$ (a) Draw a graph of the drug concentration. (b) What eventually happens to the concentration of drug in the bloodstream?
