6.Medical researchers conducted a study to determine whether treadmill exercise could improve the walking ability of patients suffering from claudication, which is pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscles of the legs. A sample of 51 patients walked on a treadmill for six minutes every day. After six months, the mean distance walked in six minutes was 370 meters, with a standard deviation of 83 meters. For a control group of 41 patients who did not walk on a treadmill, the mean distance was 330 meters with a standard deviation of 84 meters. Can you conclude that the mean distance walked for patients using a treadmill differs from the mean for the controls? Let μ1 denote the mean distance walked for patients who used a treadmill. Use the =α0.01 level of significance and the TI-84 Plus calculator.please list all 6 steps of the p method clearly

Sample 1: sample size (n1) = 51sample mean (x̄1) = 370 sample standard deviation (s1) = 83 Sample 2 : sample size (n2) = 41sample mean (x̄2) = 330 sample standard deviation (s2) = 84 1) Null and alternative hypothesis H0: μ1 = μ2 H1: μ1 ≠ μ2 2) pooled sample variance ( sp2 ) = ( (n1-1)*s12 + (n2-1)*s22) /(n1+n2-2) = ((51-1)*832 + (41-1)*842)/(51+41-2) = 6963.22 Standard error (S.E.) = √sp2 * (1/n1 + 1/n2) = √ 6963.22*(1/51 +1/41) = 17.5034 Test statistic (t) = (x̄1-x̄2)/Standard error (S.E.) = (370-330)/17.5034 = 2.28533) degree of freedom (df) = n1+n2-2 = 51+ 41 - 2 = 90 4) Significance level α = 0.01 For a two-tailed test, P-value = 0.024645 (by using excel or TI-84 calculator) 5) Since P-value > Significance level α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.The result is not significant. 6) Conclusion: At 0.01 significance level, we conclude that the mean distance walked for patients using a treadmill differs from the mean for the controls.

Question

Medical researchers conducted a study to determine whether treadmill exercise could improve the walking ability of patients suffering from claudication, which is pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscles of the legs. A sample of

patients walked on a treadmill for six minutes every day. After six months, the mean distance walked in six minutes was

370

meters, with a standard deviation of

meters. For a control group of

patients who did not walk on a treadmill, the mean distance was

330

meters with a standard deviation of

meters. Can you conclude that the mean distance walked for patients using a treadmill differs from the mean for the controls? Let

μ1

denote the mean distance walked for patients who used a treadmill. Use the

=α0.01

level of significance and the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
