Lactation promotes a temporary loss of bone mass to provide adequate amounts of calcium for milk production. The paper "Bone Mass Is Recovered from Lactation to Postweaning in Adolescent Mothers with Low Calcium Intakes" (Amer. J. of Clinical Nutr., 2004: 1322-1326) gave the following data on total body bone mineral content (TBBMC) (g) for a sample both during lactation (L) and in the postweaning period (P).

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{Subject}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}&{}\\1&2&3&4&5&6&7&8&9&{10}\\{1928}&{2549}&{2825}&{1924}&{1628}&{2175}&{2114}&{2621}&{1843}&{2541}\\{2126}&{2885}&{2895}&{1942}&{1750}&{2184}&{2164}&{2626}&{2006}&{2627}\end{array}\)

a. Does the data suggest that true average total body bone mineral content during postweaning exceeds that during lactation by more than\(25\;g\)? State and test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of .05. (Note: The appropriate normal probability plot shows some curvature but not enough to cast substantial doubt on a normality assumption.)

b. Calculate an upper confidence bound using a\(95\% \)confidence level for the true average difference between TBBMC during postweaning and during lactation.

c. Does the (incorrect) use of the two-sample\(t\)test to test the hypotheses suggested in (a) lead to the same

Find the value of test statistics

Given claim: difference between \({\rm{P}}\) and \({\rm{L}}\) is more than \(25.\)

The claim is either the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis state the opposite of each other. The null hypothesis needs to contain the value mentioned in the claim.

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:{\mu _d} = - 25\\{H_a}:{\mu _d} < - 25\end{array}\)

Determine the sample mean of the differences. The mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values.

\(\bar d = \frac{{ - 198 - 336 - 70 + \ldots - 5 - 163 - 86}}{{10}} \approx - 105.7\)

Determine the sample standard deviation of the differences:

\({s_d} = \sqrt {\frac{{{{( - 198 - ( - 105.7))}^2} + \ldots + {{(86 - ( - 105.7))}^2}}}{{10 - 1}}} \approx 103.8450\)

Determine the value of the test statistic:

\(t = \frac{{\bar d - d}}{{{s_d}/\sqrt n }} = \frac{{ - 105.7 - ( - 25)}}{{103.8450/\sqrt {10} }} \approx - 2.457\)

The P-value is the probability of obtaining the value of the test statistic, or a value more extreme, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. The Pvalue is the number (or interval) in the column title of the Student's T distribution in the appendix containing the t-value in the row\(df = n - 1 = \$ \$ 10 - 1 = 9\) :

\(0.01 < P < 0.025\)

If the P-value is less than the significance level, reject the null hypothesis.

\(P < 0.05 \Rightarrow {\mathop{\rm Reject}\nolimits} {H_0}\)

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true average total body bone mineral content during postweaning exceeds that during lactation by more than\(25\;{\rm{g}}\)

03

b)Step 3: Find the endpoint of confidence interval

\(c = 95\% = 0.95\)

Determine the\({t_{\alpha /2}}\)using the Student's T distribution table in the appendix with\(df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9\):

\({t_{0.05}} = 1.833\)

The margin of error is then:

\(E = {t_{\alpha /2}} \cdot \frac{{{s_d}}}{{\sqrt n }} = 1.833 \cdot \frac{{103.8450}}{{\sqrt {10} }} \approx 60.1933\)

The endpoints of the confidence interval for\({\mu _d}\)are:

\(\bar d + E = - 105.7 + 60.1933 = - 45.5067\)

Thus the upper confidence bound is\( - 45.5067\)

04

c)Step 4:

Find the standard deviaton

The mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values:

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\bar x}_1} = \frac{{1928 + 2549 + 2825 + \ldots + 2621 + 1843 + 2541}}{{10}} = 2214.8\\{{\bar x}_2} = \frac{{2126 + 2885 + 2895 + \ldots + 2626 + 2006 + 2627}}{{10}} = 2320.5\end{array}\)

The variance is the sum of squared deviations from the mean divided by\(n - 1\). The standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

\(\begin{array}{l}{s_1} = \sqrt {\frac{{{{(1928 - 2214.8)}^2} + \ldots . + {{(2541 - 2214.8)}^2}}}{{10 - 1}}} \approx 396.7327\\{s_2} = \sqrt {\frac{{{{(2126 - 2320.5)}^2} + \ldots .. + {{(2627 - 2320.5)}^2}}}{{10 - 1}}} \approx 406.1445\end{array}\)

05

Find the test statisitc

Determine the test statistic:

\(t = \frac{{{{\bar x}_1} - {{\bar x}_2} - \left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{s_1^2}}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{{{n_2}}}} }} = \frac{{2214.8 - 2320.5 - ( - 25)}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{{{396.7327}^2}}}{{10}} + \frac{{{{406.1445}^2}}}{{10}}} }} \approx - 0.449\)

Determine the degrees of freedom (rounded down to the nearest integer):

\(\Delta = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{s_1^2}}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{{{n_2}}}} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{{{{\left( {s_1^2/{n_1}} \right)}^2}}}{{{n_1} - 1}} + \frac{{{{\left( {s_2^2/{n_2}} \right)}^2}}}{{{n_2} - 1}}}} = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{{{396.7327}^2}}}{{10}} + \frac{{{{406.1445}^2}}}{{10}}} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{{{{\left( {{{396.7327}^2}/10} \right)}^2}}}{{10 - 1}} + \frac{{{{\left( {{{406.1445}^2}/10} \right)}^2}}}{{10 - 1}}}} \approx 17\)

The P-value is the probability of obtaining the value of the test statistic, or a value more extreme. The P-value is the number (or interval) in the column title of Student's\(T\)distribution in the appendix containing the t-value in the row\(df = 17\):

\(P > 0.10\)

If the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, then the null hypothesis is rejected:

\(P > 0.05 \Rightarrow {\rm{ Fail to reject }}{H_0}\)

We then note that we made a different conclusion compared to part (a).

Construct a paired data set for which\(t = \infty \), so that the data is highly significant when the correct analysis is used, yet \(t\) for the two-sample \(t\)test is quite near zero, so the incorrect analysis yields an insignificant result.

In an experiment to compare bearing strengths of pegs inserted in two different types of mounts, a sample of 14 observations on stress limit for red oak mounts resulted in a sample mean and sample standard deviation of \(8.48MPa\) and .79 MPa, respectively, whereas a sample of 12 observations when Douglas fir mounts were used gave a mean of \(9.36\) and a standard deviation of \(1.52\) ('Bearing Strength of White Oak Pegs in Red Oak and Douglas Fir Timbers," J. of Testing and Evaluation, 1998, 109-114). Consider testing whether or not true average stress limits are identical for the two types of mounts. Compare df's and P-values for the unpooled and pooled t tests.

How does energy intake compare to energy expenditure? One aspect of this issue was considered in the article 鈥淢easurement of Total Energy Expenditure by the Doubly Labelled Water Method in Professional Soccer Players鈥 (J. of Sports Sciences, 2002: 391鈥397), which contained the accompanying data (MJ/day).

Test to see whether there is a significant difference between intake and expenditure. Does the conclusion depend on whether a significance level of .05, .01, or .001 is used?

Torsion during hip external rotation (ER) and extension may be responsible for certain kinds of injuries in golfers and other athletes. The article "Hip Rotational Velocities During the Full Golf Swing" (J. of Sports Science and Medicine, 2009: 296-299) reported on a study in which peak ER velocity and peak IR (internal rotation) velocity (both in deg.sec\(^{ - 1}\)) were determined for a sample of 15 female collegiate golfers during their swings. The following data was supplied by the article's authors.

\(\begin{aligned}{*{20}{r}}{ Golfer }&{ \backslash multicolumn1c ER }&{ IR }&{ \backslash multicolumn1c diff }&{z perc }\\1&{ - 130.6}&{ - 98.9}&{ - 31.7}&{ - 1.28}\\2&{ - 125.1}&{ - 115.9}&{ - 9.2}&{ - 0.97}\\3&{ - 51.7}&{ - 161.6}&{109.9}&{0.34}\\4&{ - 179.7}&{ - 196.9}&{17.2}&{ - 0.73}\\5&{ - 130.5}&{ - 170.7}&{40.2}&{ - 0.34}\\6&{ - 101.0}&{ - 274.9}&{173.9}&{0.97}\\7&{ - 24.4}&{ - 275.0}&{250.6}&{1.83}\\8&{ - 231.1}&{ - 275.7}&{44.6}&{ - 0.17}\\9&{ - 186.8}&{ - 214.6}&{27.8}&{ - 0.52}\\{10}&{ - 58.5}&{ - 117.8}&{59.3}&{0.00}\\{11}&{ - 219.3}&{ - 326.7}&{107.4}&{0.17}\\{12}&{ - 113.1}&{ - 272.9}&{159.8}&{0.73}\\{13}&{ - 244.3}&{ - 429.1}&{184.8}&{1.28}\\{14}&{ - 184.4}&{ - 140.6}&{ - 43.8}&{ - 1.83}\\{15}&{ - 199.2}&{ - 345.6}&{146.4}&{0.52}\\{}&{}&{}&{}&{}\end{aligned}\)

a. Is it plausible that the differences came from a normally distributed population?

b. The article reported that mean\(( \pm SD) = - 145.3(68.0)\)for ER velocity and\( = - 227.8(96.6)\)for IR velocity. Based just on this information, could a test of hypotheses about the difference between true average IR velocity and true average ER velocity be carried out? Explain.

c. The article stated that " The lead hip peak IR velocity was significantly greater than the trail hip ER velocity\(\;\left( {p = 0.003, t value = 3.65} \right)\). "$ (The phrasing suggests that an upper-tailed test was used.) Is that in fact the case? (Note: "\(p = .033 \)in Table 2 of the article is erroneous.)

Persons having Reynaud鈥檚 syndrome are apt to suffer a sudden impairment of blood circulation in fingers and toes. In an experiment to study the extent of this impairment, each subject immersed a forefinger in water and the resulting heat output \((cal/c{m^2}/min)\) was measured. For \(m = 10\) subjects with the syndrome, the average heat output was \(\bar x = .64\), and for \(n = 10\) non-sufferers, the average output was \(2.05\). Let \({\mu _1}\) and \({\mu _2}\) denote the true average heat outputs for the two types of subjects. Assume that the two distributions of heat output are normal with \({\sigma _1} = .2\) and \({\sigma _2} = .4\).

a. Consider testing \({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = - 1.0\) versus \({H_2}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} < - 1.0\)at level . \(01\). Describe in words what \({H_a}\) says, and then carry out the test.

b. What is the probability of a type II error when the actual difference between \({\mu _1}\) and \({\mu _2}\) is \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = - 1.2?\)

c. Assuming that \(m = n\), what sample sizes are required to ensure that \(\beta = .1\) when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = - 1.2?\)
