17.39 Bone loss by nursing mothers. As discussed in Exercise
16.26 (page 390), breast-feeding mothers secrete calcium
into their milk. Some of the calcium may come from
4step
their bones, so mothers may lose bone mineral. Re-
searchers measured the percent change in mineral con-
tent of the spines of 47 mothers during three months
of breast-feeding." Here are the data: M BONELS

The researchers are willing to consider these 47 women
as an SRS from the population of all nursing mothers.
Suppose that the percent change in this population
has a Normal distribution with standard deviation
o = 2.5%. Do these data give good evidence that, on
