ASSIGNMENT # 3

Problem 1: A sample was collected from each of three geographically isolated populations of a certain species of bird. The bill length of each specimen was measured to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, yielding the data below. Analyze the data for statistically significant differences among the populations in as complete a manner as possible. Verify using SPSS.

Population B

3.3	4.1	3.5
2.8	5.0	4.5
4.3	4.6	4.4
3.7	5.1

Problem 3: Lack of pancreatic digestive enzymes into the intestine can lead to bowel absorption problems (steatorrhea). The problem can be diagnosed by excess fat in feces. Commercial pancreatic enzyme supplements are available in three forms: capsule, tablets and enteric-coated tablets. The effectiveness of the three formulations in six patients with steatorrhea were investigated; the three randomly assigned treatments were preceded by a control period. Completely analyze the comparative effects of the treatments. Verify using SPSS.
