A researcher wonders whether younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or
lighter than the population average of μ 7.25 pounds. The researcher collects data from N
= 35 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. The average weight
for these babies was M = 7.15 pounds (SD = .6 pounds).
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, N. Ehlers measured the difference in corneal thickness (in microns) between the two eyes of eight patients. Each patient had one eye that had glaucoma and one eye that was normal. The difference was measured as the corneal thickness of normal eye – corneal thickness of eye with Glaucoma. Corneal thickness is important because it can mask an accurate reading of eye pressure. Use ? = .05.
Hypothesis:
H0: μd=0Ha: μd≠0
Using output
Test statistics :
t=0.134P value=0.897
Degrees of freedom (df):
df=7
Level of significance:
α=0.05
Decision:
P value > 0.05 thus we fails to reject null hypothesis.
Question
a)Write a report summarizing your findings. When writing the report consider that medical staff estimate that a difference of 4.5 microns or more could impact on their ability to interpret eye pressure correctly. b) Define for the hypothesis stated in part b) what a type 1 error and type 2 error would mean. Is it possible…

Each patient had one eye that had glaucoma and one eye that was normal. The difference was measured as the corneal thickness of normal eye – corneal thickness of eye with Glaucoma. Corneal thickness is important because it can mask an accurate reading of eye pressure. Use ? = .05.
Q)Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that corneal thickness is different in normal eyes compared to eyes with glaucoma? Write up your results using the 8 steps.
