    Enhanced retention of nutrients in the gravid organism, which exceeds the normal deposition in the reproductive organs and in fetuses, is called 'pregnancy anabolism'. For zinc this superretention could be established only in the liver which was enlarged in gravid rats, too. In all other tissues of gravid animals, zinc contents were lower compared with nongravid rats. After lactation, these changes in zinc status were equalized, and gravid and nongravid animals showed the same values.

    Testing a Claim about Mean: Known Population SD

    A complete procedure of testing the hypothesis about a population mean is explained here.
    Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be distributed normally. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. The sample size needed to be higher than 30, and most importantly, the population standard deviation should be already known.
    In most realistic situations, the population standard deviation is often unknown, but in rare circumstances, when it...
