Maintaining your balance may get harder as you grow older. A study was conducted to see how steady the elderly are on their feet. They had a random sample of subjects stand on a force platform and have them react to a noise.

Do the data show that the mean elderly sway measurement is higher than the mean forward sway of younger people, which is 18.125 mm? Test at the 1% level.

A:  Assumptions

     Since     information was collected from each object, what conditions do we need to check?

     Check all that apply.

    

  • n(pˆ)≥10n(p̂)≥10
  • np≥10np≥10
  • n(1−p)≥10n(1-p)≥10
  • σσ is unknown
  • n(1−pˆ)≥10n(1-p̂)≥10
  • σσ is known
  • n≥30n≥30 or normal population
  • N≥20nN≥20n
  • no outliers in the data
  • outliers in the data


     Check those assumptions:

     1. Is the value of σσ known?    

 

     2. Given the following modified boxplot (If using a screenreader, use technology to generate a boxplot, then asnwer the question below):

         

(5101520253035404550forward sway in mm919.5273348[Graphs generated by this script: setBorder(15); initPicture(5,50,-3,6);axes(5,100,1,null,null,1,'off');text([24.5,-3],"forward sway in mm");line([9,2],[9,4]); rect([19.5,2],[33,4]); line([27,2],[27,4]);line([48,2],[48,4]); line([9,3],[19.5,3]); line([33,3],[48,3]);fontsize*=.8;fontfill='blue';text([9,4],'9','above');text([19.5,4],'19.5','above');text([27,4],'27','above');text([33,4],'33','above');text([48,4],'48','above');fontfill='black';fontsize*=1.25;])

          Are there any outliers?            

     3. nn =  which is     

          Is it reasonable to assume the population is normally distributed?          

N: Name the test

     The conditions are met to use a        .

T: Test Statistic

     The symbol and value of the random variable on this problem are as follows:

                =  mm

     The test statistic formula set up with numbers is as follows:

     Round values to 2 decimal places.

t=¯¯¯X−μs√n=t=X¯-μsn=

(((( −-  )) //  /√/  )))) 

     The final answer for the test statistic from technology is as follows:

     Round to 2 decimal places.

     t = 

O: Obtain the P-value

     Report the final answer to 4 decimal places.

     It is possible when rounded that a p-value is 0.0000

     P-value = 

M: Make a decision

     Since the p-value          , we        .

S: State a conclustion

     There     significant evidence to conclude                mm
