2. Lactation promotes a temporary loss of bone mass to provideadequate
amounts of calcium for milk production. Consider the data ontotal
body bone mineral content for a sample both during lactation (L)and
in the post weaning period (P).

Does the data suggest that true average total body bone mineralcon-
tent during post weaning exceeds that during lactation by morethan
25g? Use results from an output you obtained from the R softwareto
state and test the appropriate hypotheses with 95% confidencelevel(show
all details of R, either print our the R code and result orhand-write
R code and result ). State any assumptions required for the testto be
valid.
5. The following table summarizes the skin colours and positionof 368
NBA players in 2014. Suppose that an NBA player is randomlyselected
from that years player pool.

skin colour black 128 122Â Â Â 34Â Â Â 284
Total 154 152Â Â Â 62Â Â Â 368
(a) Find out where the variable \"skin colour\" is independentwith the
variable \"position\" with
alpha = 0.05
(b) We only concern about the variable \"position\". The mediaclaims
that the proportion of \"Guard\" is the same as the proportion of\"For-
ward\", which is twice as the proportion of \"Center\". Conduct atest to
find out whether the statement is valid with 90% confidenceinterval.
(hint: to test H0: P1= 0.4, P2 = 0.4, P3= 0.2)
6. Complete the following ANOVA table ( find the value of ?1,?2, ?3, ?4,
?5) [5] and give the null hypothesis and the alternativehypothesis, [2]
give your conclusion based on the ANOVA table [2].

7. Refer to the
Bulletin of Marine Science (April 2010)
study of teams
of shermen shing for the red apiny lobster in Baja ValiforniaSur,
Mexico. Two variables measured for each of 8 teams from thePunta
Abreojos shing cooperative were y=total catch of lobsters (inkilo-
grams) during the season and x=average percentage of trapsallocated
per day to exploring areas of unknown catch (called searchfrequency)

(a) Graph the data in a scatterplot (using R). What type oftrend, if any,
could be observed?
(b) Add the regression line to the plot (using R, eitherhand-write the R
code and plot the graph or print your R code and graph).
(c)Give the null and alternative hypothesis for testing whethertotal catch
is negatively linearly related to search frequency. Find thep-vale of the test
and give the appropriate conclusion of the test using alpha =0.05
(d) what's the coefficient of correlation between total catchand search
frequency?
