Question:

Here is the data on fibrinogen levels (mg/dl) for 10 healthy dogs and 11 dogs with chronic kidney disease discussed in Example 1.18:

a. For the data on the 10 healthy dogs, calculate the range, variance, standard deviation, quartiles, and interquartile range.
b. Repeat part (a) for the 11 dogs with CKD.

Example 1.18

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects vital systems throughout the body, including the production of fibrinogen, a protein that helps in the formation of blood clots. (Both too much and too little fibrinogen are dangerous.) The article “Comparison of Platelet Function and Viscoelastic Test Results between Healthy Dogs and Dogs with Naturally Occurring [CKD]” (Amer. J. Veterinary Res. 2017: 589-600) compared the fibrinogen levels (mg/dl of blood) in 11 dogs with CKD to 10 dogs with normal kidney function. Figure 1.18 presents a stem-and-leaf display of the data (some values were estimated from a graph in the article).
