As the population ages, there is increasing concern about accident-related injuries to the elderly. An article reported on an experiment in which the maximum lean angle-the farthest a subject is able
to lean and still recover in one step-was determined for both a sample of younger females (21-29 years) and a sample of older females (67-81 years). The following observations are consistent with
summary data given in the article:
YF: 29, 35, 31, 27, 28, 32, 31, 34, 32, 29
OF: 19, 15, 21, 13, 12
Does the data suggest that true average maximum lean angle for older females (OF) is more than 10 degrees smaller than it is for younger females (YF)? State and test the relevant hypotheses at
significance level 0.10. (Use , for younger females and #₂ for older females.)

MY NOTES
State the conclusion in the problem context.
Fall to reject M. The data suggests that true average lean angle for older females is more than 10 degrees smaller than that of younger females.
Fail to reject Ho. The data suggests that true average lean angle for older females is not more than 10 degrees smaller than that of younger females.
Reject Ho. The data suggests that true average lean angle for older females is not more than 10 degrees smaller than that of younger females.
