Example number 4: A study was conducted to investigate the effect of certain new drug on
body temperature in guinea pigs. Rectal temperatures were measured on ten animals at noon one
day before treatment and another time at noon one day after administering the drug. The data
obtained were:

Animal No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Temp. before 39.7 38.8 38.4 39.3 39.5 39.4 40.2 39.2 39.6 38.9
Temp. after 37.2 37.0 37.6 38.0 37.9 37.2 37.0 37.3 37.4 37.1
Do these results indicate that the drug used has any effect on body temperature?

Example number 5: When estimating the percentage of protein in milk samples by two
different methods. The data obtained were:

Sample No. Method 1 Method 2

1 27 20
2 26 20
3 25 18
4 31 27
5 31 21
6 28 24
Are the two methods different from each other in estimating protein levels?
