Let us suppose we have some article reported on a study of potential sources of injury to equine veterinarians conducted at a
university veterinary hospital. Forces on the hand were measured for several common activities that veterinarians engage in when
examining or treating horses. We will consider the forces on the hands for two tasks, lifting and using ultrasound. Assume that both
sample sizes are 6, the sample mean force for lifting was 6.2 pounds with standard deviation 1.5 pounds, and the sample mean force
for using ultrasound was 6.4 pounds with standard deviation 0.3 pounds. Assume that the standard deviations are known.
Suppose that you wanted to detect a true difference in mean force of 0.25 pounds on the hands for these two activities. Under the null
hypothesis, 40 = 0. What level of type II error would you recommend here?
Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). Use a
