Ankle Brachial Index. The ankle brachial index (ABI) compares the blood pressure of a patient’s arm to the blood pressure of the patient’s leg. The ABI can be an indicator of different diseases, including arterial diseases. A healthy (or normal) ABI is 0.9 or greater. In a study by M. McDermott et al. titled “Sex Differences in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Leg Symptoms and Physical Functioning” (Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Vol. 51, No. 2, pp. 222–228), the researchers obtained the ABI of 187 women with peripheral arterial disease. The results were a mean ABI of 0.64 with a standard deviation of 0.15. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, women with peripheral arterial disease have an unhealthy ABI?
Foot ulcers are a common problem for people with diabetes. Higher skin temperatures on
the foot indicate an increased risk of ulcers. The article "An Intelligent Insole for Diabetic
Patients with the Loss of Protective Sensation" (Kimberly Anderson, M.S. Thesis, Colorado
School of Mines), reports measurements of temperatures, in °F, of both feet for 181
diabetic patients. The results are presented in the following table.

- ANOTHER The negative effects of ambient air pollution on children's lung function has been well established, but less research is available about the impact of indoor air pollution. The authors of an article investigated the relationship between indoor air-pollution metrics and lung function growth among children ages 6-13 years living in four Chinese cities. For each subject in the study, the authors measured an important lung-capacity index known as FEV₁, the forced volume (in ml) of air that is exhaled in 1 second. Higher FEV₁ values are associated with greater lung capacity. Among the children in the study, 516 came from households that used coal for cooking or heating or both. Their FEV₁ mean was 1427 with a standard deviation of 325. (A complex statistical procedure was used to show that burning coal had a clear negative effect on mean FEV, levels.)

- A medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y) Generally, the systolic blood pressure depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 125 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function: Y= 15.50 + 0..90B+1.15A.

At the 5% significance level, the student will ▼ the null hypothesis.
