Question

An orthopedic surgeon wanted to know the effectiveness of three suture techniques on tendon repair of injured athletes. Specifically, he wanted to see if there is a difference in the mean duration of recovery (in weeks) for the said volunteers who were introduced to these methods. At 95% confidence level, test the hypothesis that there is a difference among the means by using the p-value method of hypothesis testing.


1. Give the null hypothesis in symbols.

2. Give the alternative hypothesis in symbols.

3. Identify the tail of the test.

4. Give the null hypothesis in words.

5. Give the alternative hypothesis in words.

6. Determine the critical value or p-value ().

7. Identify what test to be used.

8. Explain why this test is most appropriate.

9. Make the decision using specific evidence.

10. Summarize the results for the study.
