Textbook Question
Chapter 11.2, Problem 38E
The paper “Quantitative Assessment of Glenohumeral Translation in Baseball Players” (American Journal of Sports Medicine [2004]: 1711–1715) considered various aspects of shoulder motion for a sample of pitchers and another sample of position players. The authors kindly supplied the data shown below on anteroposterior translation (mm), a measure of the extent of anterior and posterior motion, both for the dominant arm and the nondominant arm.
- a. Estimate the true average difference in translation between dominant and nondominant arms for pitchers using a 95% confidence interval.
- b. Estimate the true average difference in translation between dominant and nondominant arms for position players using a 95% confidence interval.
- c. The authors asserted that pitchers have greater difference in mean anteroposterior translation of their shoulders than do position players. Do you agree? Explain.

A graduate student is interested in whether playing video games increases peripheral visual perception abilities or decreases attention to peripheral regions because of focus on the gaming zone. For her study, she selects a random sample of 64 adults. The subjects complete a difficult spatial perception task to determine baseline levels of their abilities. After playing an action video game (a first-person combat simulation) for 1 hour a day over 10 days, they complete the difficult perception task for a second time. Before playing the action video game, the mean score in their accuracy on the spatial task was 0.42. After playing the action video game, the mean score was -0.08.
