Abstract: | It is shown that the geometric mean of survival time and the deviation of σ from τ are measures of a population's resistance
to acute hypoxia; that a measure of the individual resistance of an animal to such hypoxia is Student's parameter for that
animal; that the distribution of Student's parameter in a population is a lognormal distribution under any conditions; and
that the number of animals with low resistance is always equal to the number of highly resistant animals. The procedure described
makes it possible to limit the number of animals used in an experiment by recording with the requisite accuracy the proposed
measures of resistance to acute hypoxia at the population and individual levels.
