Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 7P
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.
Suppose an equal number of 12- to 14-year-old girls below and above the poverty level are recruited to study differences in calcium intake. How many girls should be recruited to have an 80% chance of detecting a significant difference using a two-sided test with α = .05?

A researcher is interested in testing the relationship between smoking and BMI (kg/m2) in adults aged 30-45. In order to test this association, the researcher divides smoking into currently more than a pack a day, currently less than a pack a day, and never smokers. The following table represents the BMIs for each participant enrolled by their respective smoking category.
Current Smoker (≥1pack/day)
Current Smoker (<1 pack/day

Is there a relationship between age and anemia?
Suppose that you wish to estimate the difference between mean pH measurements of rainfalls
in two different locations, one in relatively unpolluted area and the other in an area subject to
heavy air pollution.
You want to be 95% confident that the margin of error for the difference between mean pH of
rainfalls in relatively unpolluted area and mean pH of rainfalls in an area subject to heavy air
pollution will not exceed 0.1 pH.
How many rainfalls (pH measurements) must be included in each sample?
Assume that the variance of pH measurements in a relatively unpolluted area is equal to
2
=
20, and the variance of pH measurements in an area subject to heavy pollution is equal to
2
= 0.25, and samples will be of equal size (n = n₂ = n).
2
It is supposed that values of pH in rainfalls are normally distributed in polluted and unpolluted areas.
The number of rainfalls (pH measurements) that must be included in each sample is
