I want to know if I calculated the amount of boys required to ensure a two-sided test of hypothesis has 80% power to detect a difference in BMI of 2 units? This is my question #1 of my homework. Thank you.

1. The mean body mass index (BMI) for boys age 12 is 23.6. An investigator wants to test
if the BMI is higher in 12-year-old boys living in New York City. How many boys are
needed to ensure that a two-sided test of hypothesis has 80% power to detect a difference
in BMI of 2 units? Assume that the standard deviation in BMI is 5.7.

- These are previous year papers that i want to solve before the start of next semester. Can you please help me solve these? A new drug has been developed to treat cancer. It is of interest to know whether the low dose (X1 = 0) or high dose (X1 = 1) will be better for cancer patients. There are 60% of patients randomly assigned to high dose.For this question, if asked to do a hypothesis test, please include the following:1. The formula of the test statistic,2. the reference distribution with degrees of freedom and the conditions for the test statisticto follow this reference distribution,3. plug in the numbers from the R output into the test statistic. You do not need to simplifythe expression,4. state when will you reject or fail to reject the hypothesis. a)Write out the linear regression model of Y (a continuous measure of tumor size) on dose X1 using low dose as reference level.b) The r output of the regression model from part 1 is given below.
