Question
A dentist wanted to determine if a relationship existed between childhood fluoride exposure and cavities. She took a sample of adults in her practice and counted how many cavities each person had in his or her permanent teeth. She also determined how many years of childhood each person was exposed to tap water with fluoride. The minimum value on this variable was 0 and the maximum was 18. Using the data below, an alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test, was there a significant relationship?
Years of fluoride |
Number of cavities |
0 | 10 |
18 | 1 |
2 | 7 |
12 | 3 |
3 | 4 |
10 | 5 |
M = 7.5 s =6.98 |
M = 5.00 s = 3.16 |
