Question

You want to compare the length of hind and forefeet in deer (Odocoileus virginianus). You measure the hind and forefoot on each of ten deer and get the following results (in cm): Deer # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Hind leg 142 140 144 144 142 146 149 150 142 148 Fore leg 138 136 147 139 143 141 143 145 136 146 Assuming all the data are normally distributed, carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in leg length in deer. Use α = .10 . Make sure you write out your conclusion (about deer leg lengths)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
