95 Confidence Limits and Reproducibility The degree of scatter of observed values may be evaluated by calcula tion and expressed as a confidence limit. These limits are shown by dotted lines on both sides of the solid line in part C of the graph. These particular confidence limits indicate the area or range within which the dosage-response line may be expected to fall in 19 of 20 samples taken at ran dom from the same population. It may be seen that a series of such curves will correspond closely with one another at the 50% mortality level but will agree less well as the mor tality approaches either 0 or 100%.
Even if this were done, it would be unlikely that the investigator would find the dosage to produce the effect in exactly half of the animals. That is why the parameter must be estimated statistically. In practice, test animals are divided into groups of moderate size, frequently about 10 per group. Each group is given one of a series of geo metrically increasing dosages selected in such a way that the smallest dosage will produce the intended effect in only a small proportion of the group receiving it, whereas the largest dosage produces the same effect in the majority of animals receiving it.
Undoubtedly some other mate rials such as lead often would cause both acute and chronic effects if absorbed at a sufficiently large single dose. Other compounds such as potassium cyanide have pro duced only acute illness to this date. In other words, the illness caused by cyanide is similar whether it follows a sin gle large dose or many somewhat smaller doses. If recovery occurs, it progresses at a rate determined by the severity of illness rather than by the number of doses received. The production of persistent effects is not characteristic of cya nide, although such effects may follow tissue anoxia of any cause.
