What are the differences and similarities of median lethal dose and median toxicity dose?

∙ 14y ago
The median lethal dose is the average dose of a toxin that could cause death for specific individuals, taking into account age, height, weight, and general health. The median toxicity dose under the same conditions is the amount of a toxin needed to make one ill.

Are the differences between mean and median significant?
yes median is the middle number of the group and mean is the avergage number of the group put together
Is Median an outlier?
No, median is not an outlier.
How do mean deviation from median?
The mean deviation from the median is equal to the mean minus the median.
What is the median is a measure of?
the median is the middle like 2,3,5,7,4,2.8. the median is 7 because it is in the middle.
What is the median of these numbers 274394?
The median is 4
What minerals are poisonous?
depends: -there are different routes of exposure: oral, dermal or inhalation? -there's a difference between toxicity from a single dose (acute toxicity) or from repeated exposures (chronic toxicity)? -acute toxicity can be ranked depending on median lethal dose: highly toxic, moderately toxic, or slightly toxic?
What is the oral median lethal dose of hydrogen cyanide in poultry birds?
50 mg
Differences between the mean and median filter?
Mean filtering is linear but median filtering is non-linear.
What do you mean by LD50 value for heroin?
The 'median lethal dose'. In other words, the average dose that would be enough to kill you
Are the differences between mean and median significant?
yes median is the middle number of the group and mean is the avergage number of the group put together
When do you use median in real life situations?
One common use of the median is the so-called 'median lethal dose'. In quantifying how toxic a substance is the LD50 is the amount of the substance required to kill 50% of the population within a specified time period. Please see the link.
What are the similarities of mode median and mean?
Well the main similarity is that they are all techniques of finding the average in a group of numbers.
What percentages of exposed and unprotected soldiers are expected to become casualties upon receipt of a median lethal dosage of a liquid agent?
This depends on the specific agent used.
What is the LD50 of sarin?
In toxicology, the median lethal dose, of a toxin is the dose required to kill half the members of a tested population after a specified test duration. LD50 figures are frequently used as a general indicator of a substance's acute toxicity.
How did you calculate LD50?
Calculating the median lethal dose, LD50 (the dose of a toxin which kills half of the test population) first requires a lot of laboratory testing which can take months. The data is then accumulated and manipulated to give a value which is the median dose. -- Why don't you get to understand Lichfield wilcoxon's method.
Is scandium in the human body?
Elemental scandium is not considered to be toxic. Little animal testing of scandium compounds has been done.[29] The median lethal dose (LD50) levels for scandium(III) chloride for rats have been determined and were intraperitoneal 4 mg/kg and oral 755 mg/kg.[30] In the light of these results compounds of scandium should be handled as compounds of moderate toxicity. or you can look up "scandium element" and go to wikipedia hope i helped :D
What are the steps to obtain LC50?
The relationship between the degree of response of the organisms and the quantity of the chemical always assumes a classic concentration-response form. The graphs represent the results of tests in which groups of the organisms of the same species were exposed to various concentrations of a chemical for a specific length of time. The least variability in the curve is at the 50% level of response. The concentration at which 50% level of the individuals react after a specified length of exposure is used as a measure of the activity or toxicity of the chemical agent. In determining the relative toxicity of a new chemical to aquatic organisms, an acute toxicity test is first conducted to estimate the median lethal concentration of the chemical in the water to which test organisms are exposed. LC50 is the concentration estimated to produce mortality in 50% of a test population over a specific time period.
