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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Reject null hypothesis at significance level 0.01 and 0.05;

Do not reject null hypothesis at significance level 0.001.

Step by step solution

01

To Find the

Given data suggest that the paired t test should be used.

The Paired t Test:

When\(D = X - Y\)(difference between observations within a pair),\({\mu _D} = {\mu _1} - {\mu _2}\) and null hypothesis

\({H_0}:{\mu _D} = {\Delta _0}.\)

the test statistic value for testing the hypotheses is

\(t = \frac{{\bar d - {\Delta _0}}}{{{s_D}/\sqrt n }}\)

where\(\bar d\)and\({S_D}\)are the sample mean and the sample standard deviation of differences\({d_i}\), respectively. In order to use this test, assume that the differences\({D_i}\)are from a normal population. Depending on alternative hypothesis, the P value can be determined as the corresponding area under the\({l_{n - 1}}\)curve.

The accompanying table gives the necessary values for the paired\(\iota \)test to be performed.

Find the sample value

The sample mean and the sample standard deviation of the differences has to be computed.

The Sample Mean\(\bar x\)of observations\({x_1},{x_2}, \ldots ,{x_n}\)is given by

\(\bar x = \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + \ldots + {x_n}}}{n} = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} \)

The sample mean\(\bar d\)for the differences is

\(\bar d = \frac{1}{7} \times ( - 0.2 + 2.9 \ldots 1.5) = 1.757\)

The Sample Variance\({s^2}\) is

\({s^2} = \frac{1}{{n - 1}} \times {S_{xx}}\)

Where

\({S_{xx}} = \sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} = \sum {x_i^2} - \frac{1}{n} \times {\left( {\sum {{x_i}} } \right)^2}\)

The Sample Standard Deviation s is

\(s = \sqrt {{s^2}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{n - 1}} \cdot {S_{xx}}} \)\(P = 0.008 > 0.001\)\(s = \sqrt {{s^2}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{n - 1}} \times {S_{xx}}} \)

The sample variance is

\(\begin{array}{l}s_D^2 = \frac{1}{{7 - 1}} \times \left( {{{( - 0.2 - 1.757)}^2} + {{(2.9 - 1.757)}^2} + \ldots + {{(1.5 - 1.757)}^2}} \right)\\ = 1.433\end{array}\)

and the sample standard deviation

\({s_D} = \sqrt {1.433} = 1.197\)

03

To find P value

The hypotheses of interest are\({H_0}:{\mu _D} = 0\)versus\({H_a}:{\mu _D} \ne 0\). The test statistic value is

\(t = \frac{{1.757 - 0}}{{1.197/\sqrt 7 }} = 3.88\)

The degrees of freedom are n-1=7-1=6. The P value is two times the area under\({t_6}\)curve to the right of |t|; thus

\(P = 2 \times P(T > 3.88)) = 2 \times 0.004 = 0.008\)

which was computed using software (you could use the table in the appendix).

Reject null hypothesis

at two of the given significance levels because

\(P = 0.008 < 0.01 < 0.05\)

At significance level 0.001 do

not reject null hypothesis

\(P = 0.008 > 0.001\)

04

Final proof 

Reject null hypothesis at significance level 0.01 and 0.05;

Do not reject null hypothesis at significance level 0.001.

the article 鈥樷檈valuation of a ventilation strategy to prevent barotrauma in patients at high risk for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome鈥 (New Engl. J. of Med., \(1998:355 - 358)\) reported on an experiment in which \(120\) patients with similar clinical features were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, each consisting of \(60\) patients. The sample mean ICU stay (days) and sample standard deviation for the treatment group were \(19.9\) and\(39.1\), respectively, whereas these values for the control group were \(13.7\) and \(15.8\).

a) Calculate a point estimate for the difference between true average ICU stay for the treatment and control groups. Does this estimate suggest that there is a significant difference between true average stays under the two conditions?

b) Answer the question posed in part (a) by carrying out a formal test of hypotheses. Is the result different from what you conjectured in part (a)?

c)Does it appear that ICU stay for patients given the ventilation treatment is normally distributed? Explain your reasoning9. The article 鈥淓valuation of a Ventilation Strategy to Prevent Barotrauma in Patients at High Risk for

d)Estimate true average length of stay for patients given the ventilation treatment in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability

The article "The Influence of Corrosion Inhibitor and Surface Abrasion on the Failure of Aluminum-Wired Twist-On Connections" (IEEE Trans. on Components, Hybrids, and Manuf. Tech., 1984: 20-25) reported data on potential drop measurements for one sample of connectors wired with alloy aluminum and another sample wired with EC aluminum. Does the accompanying SAS output suggest that the true average potential drop for alloy connections (type 1) is higher than that wfor EC connections (as stated in the article)? Carry out the appropriate test using a significance level of .01. In reaching your conclusion, what type of error might you have committed?

(Note: SAS reports the\(P\)-value for a two-tailed test.)

Damage to grapes from bird predation is a serious problem for grape growers. The article "'Experimental Method to Investigate and Monitor Bird Behavior and Damage to Vineyards" (Amer. \(J\). of Enology and Viticulture, 2004: 288-291) reported on an experiment involving a bird-feeder table, time-lapse video, and artificial foods. Information was collected for two different bird species at both the experimental location and at a natural vineyard setting. Consider the following data on time (sec) spent on a single visit to the location.

\(\begin{array}{l}Species Location n \overline x SEmean\\Blackbirds Exptl 65 13.4 2.05 \\Blackbirds Natural 50 9.7 1.76\\Silvereyes Exptl 34 49.4 4.78\\Silvereyes Natural 46 38.4 5.06\end{array}\)

a. Calculate an upper confidence bound for the true average time that blackbirds spend on a single visit at the experimental location.

b. Does it appear that true average time spent by blackbirds at the experimental location exceeds the true average time birds of this type spend at the natural location? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses.

c. Estimate the difference between the true average time blackbirds spend at the natural location and true average time that silvereyes spend at the natural

Scientists and engineers frequently wish to compare two different techniques for measuring or determining the value of a variable. In such situations, interest centers on testing whether the mean difference in measurements is zero. The article "Evaluation of the Deuterium Dilution Technique Against the Test Weighing Procedure for the Determination of Breast Milk Intake" (Amer: J. of Clinical Nutr., \(1983: 996 - 1003\)) reports the accompanying data on amount of milk ingested by each of\(14\)randomly selected infants.

a. Is it plausible that the population distribution of differences is normal?

b. Does it appear that the true average difference between intake values measured by the two methods is something other than zero? Determine the\(P\)-value of the test, and use it to reach a conclusion at significance level . \(05\).

The level of lead in the blood was determined for a sample of \(152\) male hazardous-waste workers ages \(20 - 30\) and also for a sample of \(86\) female workers, resulting in a mean \(6\) standard error of \(5.5 \pm 0.3\)for the men and \(3.8 \pm 0.2\) for the women (鈥淭emporal Changes in Blood Lead Levels of Hazardous Waste Workers in New Jersey, 1984鈥1987,鈥 Environ. Monitoring and Assessment, 1993: 99鈥107). Calculate an estimate of the difference between true average blood lead levels for male and female workers in a way that provides information about reliability and precision.
