Summary
Introduction
Methods
A group of 60 mice were randomly assigned to one of five treatment groups, with 12 mice in each group. Four groups received a dose of Delta-9-THC (marijuana) and one group received no dose to act as a control. The four marijuana groups received 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg doses, respectively, of Delta-9-THC.
Observers recorded the level of spontaneous activity and the change in body temperature in each mouse. Spontaneous activity is defined as the number of times a photocell beam was interrupted by the mouse during a 10 minute period, and the change in body temperature is defined as the difference between the body temperature measured 1 hour post treatment and that measured just prior to treatment.
To examine the control group, we use a 1-sample t-test to check the hypothesis that the change in body temperature is zero. We construct a 95% confidence interval for the measure of spontaneous activity.
In this report we establish the distribution of each of the measured variables using his-tograms and QQ plots. We provide summary statistics of the measured variables for each of the groups. To graphically show potential relationships between the measured variables and marijuana, we use a series of boxplots, one for each treatment group.
To examine the effect of marijuana, we conduct 2-sample t-tests between the control group and each of the marijuana groups to identify any significant changes in the measured vari-ables. The validity of the t-tests is discussed with reference to their underlying assumptions.
All hypothesis tests are 2-sided and use a 5% significance level, with test statistics and p-values reported in all cases. Calculations are performed using R statistical software.
