The article “Bone Density and Insertion Torque as Predictors of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft Fixation Strength” (The Amer. J. of Sports Med., 2004: 1421–1429) gave the accompanying data on maximum insertion torque (N · m) and yield load (N), the latter being one measure of graft strength, for 15 different specimens.

- a. Is it plausible that yield load is
normally distributed ? - b. Estimate true average yield load by calculating a confidence interval with a confidence level of 95%, and interpret the interval.
- c. Here is output from Minitab for the regression of yield load on torque. Does the simple linear regression model specify a useful relationship between the variables?

- d. The authors of the cited paper state, “Consequently, we cannot but conclude that simple
regression analysis -based methods are not clinically sufficient to predict individual fixation strength.” Do you agree? [Hint: Consider predicting yield load when torque is 2.0.]

Improving the appearance of all textile products from clothing to home textile using laser technology. Optics and Laser Technology, 37, 631-637. Researchers sought to test the differences in tensile strength of jeans designed by hand versus those designed with lasers. 1. What type of measurement scale do each of the five variables use? 2. Create histograms for those that are continuous (interval or ratio). How would you describe the shape of these distributions? 3. A textile researcher wants to simplify the strength data by turning this continuous variable into an ordinal variable with 10 equal interval widths. Given that the lowest force resulting in a rip was 860 N, and the greatest force resulting in a rip was 1,450 N, what should the interval widths (also called bins or breaks) be?
