Problem 1 (10 pts)
Methamphetamine comes in several forms and can be smoked, inhaled (snorted), injected, or orally ingested. The time it
takes for a euphoric response after a release of dopamine (rush) in the brain, regardless of method of delivery, is exponentially
distributed.
Suppose we wish to compare the dopamine release time when methamphetamine is smoked versus injected in rats. It is
hypothesized that smoking might lead to a quicker dopamine release than injection.
In order to investigate each method of delivery was run 12 times, and the time it takes for a dopamine rush is measured. The
results, in milliseconds, are found in meth.csv.
(a) Based upon the data, what method should you use to analyze the data? Use plots and statistical tests to justify your
answer.
(b) State the null and alternative hypothesis in words and/or symbols.
(c) Using the method that you selected and justified, carry out that method. Test at the 5% level. Show the appropriate R
output.
(d) State the conclusion of the test and provide an interpretation of the conclusion in the context of this particular problem.
