Chapter 8.2, Problem 23E
Automatic identification of the boundaries of significant structures within a medical image is an area of ongoing research. The paper “Automatic Segmentation of Medical Images Using Image Registration: Diagnostic and Simulation Applications” (J. of Medical Engr. and Tech., 2005: 53–63) discussed a new technique for such identification. A measure of the accuracy of the automatic region is the average linear displacement (ALD). The paper gave the following ALD observations for a sample of 49 kidneys (units of pixel dimensions).
- a. Summarize/describe the data.
- b. Is it plausible that ALD is at least approximately
normally distributed ? Must normality be assumed prior to calculating a CI for true average ALD or testing hypotheses about true average ALD? Explain. - c. The authors commented that in most cases the ALD is better than or of the order of 1.0. Does the data in fact provide strong evidence for concluding that true average ALD under these circumstances is less than 1.0? Carry out an appropriate test of hypotheses.
- d. Calculate an upper confidence bound for true average ALD using a confidence level of 95%, and interpret this bound.

Magnet Treatment of Pain Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain, with results given below (based on data from “Bipolar Permanent Magnets for the Treatment of Chronic Lower Back Pain: A Pilot Study,” by Collacott, Zimmerman, White, and Rindone, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 283, No. 10). The values represent measurements of pain using the visual analog scale. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that those given a sham treatment (similar to a placebo) have pain reductions that vary more than the pain reductions for those treated with magnets.
The degenerative disease osteoarthritis most frequently affects weight-bearing joints such as knee. The article “Evidence of Mechanical Load Redistribution at the Knee Joint in the Elderly when Ascending Stairs and Ramps” (Annals of Biomed. Engr., 2008:467-476) presented the following summary data on stance duration (ms) for samples of both older and younger adults.

Assume that both stance duration distributions are normal. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level .05 to decide whether true average stance duration is larger among elderly individuals than among younger individuals. (Population variances are not assumed equal.)
Mist (airborne droplets or aerosols) is generated when metal-
removing fluids are used in machining operations to cool
and lubricate the tool and workpiece. Mist generation is a
concern to OSHA, which has recently lowered substantially
the workplace standard. The article "Variables Affecting
Mist Generaton from Metal Removal Fluids"
(Lubrication Engr., 2002: 10-17) gave the accompanying
data on x = fluid-flow velocity for a 5% soluble oil (cm/sec)
and y = the extent of mist droplets having diameters smaller
than 10 μm (mg/m³):

a. The investigators performed a simple linear regres-
sion analysis to relate the two variables. Does a scat-
terplot of the data support this strategy?
b. What proportion of observed variation in mist can be
attributed to the simple linear regression relationship
between velocity and mist?
c. The investigators were particularly interested in the
impact on mist of increasing velocity from 100 to
