Problem 1
The data in Table 4.3 are a subset of the data obtained by Thomas and Simmons (1969), who investigated the relation of sputum histamine levels to inhaled irritants or allergens. The histamine content was reported in micrograms per gram of dry weight of sputum. The subjects for this portion of the study consisted of 22 smokers; 9 of them were allergics and the remaining 13 were asymptomatic (non-allergic) individuals. Care was taken to avoid people who carried out part of their daily work in an atmosphere of noxious gases or other respiratory toxicants. Table 4.3 gives the ordered sputum histamine levels for the 22 individuals in the study.
Test the hypothesis of equal levels versus the alternative that allergic smokers have higher sputum histamine levels than non-allergic smokers. Use the large-sample approximation.
