Solved: Minor surgery on horses under field conditions

Chapter 8, Problem 8.28

(choose chapter or problem)

Minor surgery on horses under field conditions requires a reliable short-term anesthetic producing good muscle relaxation, minimal cardiovascular and respiratory changes, and a quick, smooth recovery with minimal aftereffects so that horses can be left unattended. The article A Field Trial of Ketamine Anesthesia in the Horse (Equine Vet. J., 1984: 176179) reports that for a sample of n 73 horses to which ketamine was administered under certain conditions, the sample average lateral recumbency (lying-down) time was 18.86 min and the standard deviation was 8.6 min. Does this data suggest that true average lateral recumbency time under these conditions is less than 20 min? Test the appropriate hypotheses at level of significance .10.
