Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 13P
The mean ±1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 25 females, 12 to 14 years of age, below the poverty level is 6.56 ± 0.64. Similarly, the mean ± 1 sd of ln [calcium intake (mg)] among 40 females, 12 to 14 years of age, above the poverty level is 6.80 ± 0.76.
Answer Problem 8.12 assuming a one-sided test is used with α = .05.
Suppose 50 girls above the poverty level and 25 girls below the poverty level are recruited for the study. How much power will the study have if a two-sided test is used with α = .05?

8.3 What is the appropriate procedure to test for a significantdifference in means between the two groups?
If our significant value falls below alpha, which is set at .05, we are over 95% confident that the results did not happen by chance.
true or false?
If the df value for a two tailed test with alpha =0.05 were to increase from df=5 to df=22,what would happen to the critical values for t?
