Peak force (N) on the hand was measured just prior to impact and just after impact on a backhand drive for six advanced tennis players. The resulting data, from the paper “Forces on the Hand in the Tennis One-Handed Backhand” (International Journal of Sport Biomechanics [1991]: 282–292), are given in the accompanying table.

Refer to laserjeans.xlsx to answer the questions below. These real data come from Ondogan, Z., Pamuk, O., Ondogan, E. N., & Ozguney, A. (2005). Improving the appearance of all textile products from clothing to home textile using laser technology. Optics and Laser Technology, 37, 631-637. Researchers sought to test the differences in tensile strength of jeans designed by hand versus those designed with lasers. 1. What type of measurement scale do each of the five variables use? 2. Create histograms for those that are continuous (interval or ratio). How would you describe the shape of these distributions? 3. A textile researcher wants to simplify the strength data by turning this continuous variable into an ordinal variable with 10 equal interval widths. Given that the lowest force resulting in a rip was 860 N, and the greatest force resulting in a rip was 1,450 N, what should the interval widths (also called bins or breaks) be? Fill in the second column of the…
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?

Examples include two people shaking hands, or a nurse squeezing a patient's forearm to stop bleeding. The article "Investigation of Grip Force, Normal Force, Contact Area, Hand Size, and Handle Size for Cylindrical Handles" (Human Factors, 2008: 734-744) included the following data on grip strength (N) for a sample of 42 individuals: 16 18 18 26 33 41 54 56 66 68 87 91 95 98 106 109 111 118 127 127 135 145 147 149 151 168 172 183 189 190 200 210 220 229 230 233 238 244 259 294 329 403 a.

- Measuring Seals from PhotosListed below are the overhead widths (in cm) of seals measured from photographs and the weights of the seals (in kg). The data are based on “Mass Estimation of Weddell Seals Using Techniques of Photogrammetry,” by R. Garrott of Montana State University. The purpose of the study was to determine if weights of seals could be determined from overhead photographs.

Hahn (2017) evaluated sociodemographic differences in how people worry about lung cancer. Some of the differences observed across demographic of interest were between males and females [t[45]=0.69; higher mean worry among men], smokers and nonsmokers [t[45]=2.69; higher mean worry among smokers]. However, at least one of these results were not statistically significant. Use the information provided to state which t test or t test did not reach the .05 level of significance in this study.
