- Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of womenarrow_forwardA nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96.

[1] conducted a randomized, double-blind study to measure the effectiveness of NAC in the long-term treatment of patients with chronic bronchitis and mild airway obstruction. The response is the number of acute exacerbations per month. The mean value and standard deviation for both experimental and placebo group are given below: Placebo Sample size 59 Mean Standard Deviation 0.15 Sample size Standard Deviation 0.19 70 0.16 To test if there is a statistically significant differences between NAC and placebo in number of observed exacerbations, the author plans to conduct a hypothesis testing at 10% level of significance.
