Question
The men body mas index (BMI) for boys of age 12 years is 23.6kg/m An investigator wants to test if the BMI is higher in 12-year-old boys living in New York CIty. How many bos are needed to ensure that a two-sided test of hypothesis has 80% power to detect a difference in BMI of 2 kg/m? Assume that the standard deviation in BMI is 5.7 kg/m.
