Assignment Perform the analysis requested in the memo on the next page. 3 Memo FROM: Maria McYourNewBoss TO: New hire SUBJECT: Ventilation analysis DATE: March 7, 2024 Congratulations on your new position in the McYourNewBoss Lab! I hope you’ve had a chance to get settled and to meet your new labmates. Before you get started with some other projects, I’m going to need you to wrap one up that had already been started. The data for this one has already been collected, so this should be easy. The goal of this project is to investigate how three methods of ventilation during anesthesia affect post-op blood folate levels. The three methods are • 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen, continuously for 24 hours; • 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen, only during the operation; and • no nitrous oxide but 35%-50% oxygen continuously for 24 hours. You can find data on blood folate levels (in μg) for patients treated with these methods in AnesthesiaVentilation.csv. We are concerned with limiting the risk of anemias that are associated with low blood folate levels in patients, so you need to identify for me whether there is evidence for any of these methods being better
