Task 1

The group of males are not consuming an acceptable amount of vitamin C (M =81.14, SD =

11.85) in relation to the specific RDA of 90 mg per day t(80) = -6.69, p = .000.

Test 2

We use independent sample Tests because the recordings were obtained from two different
sources that have no relationship. The two groupings are male and female. The test is between
subjects because we focus on two main subjects that is males and females and analyze their
anthropometric differences across other variables like age, stature and body mass.

There were no significant anthropometric difference in body mass between males and females, t
(11) = 0.63, p = .03, despite men (M = 43.52, SD = 10.85) attaining higher scores than women (M = 41.08,
SD = 6.80).

There were no significant anthropometric difference in stature between males and females, t (11)
= 1.01, p = .42, despite men (M = 1.47, SD = 0.02) attaining higher scores than women (M = 1.43, SD =
0.11).

There were no significant anthropometric difference in Age between males and females, t (11) =,
0.46 p = .96, despite men (M = 11.40, SD = 0.29) attaining higher scores than women (M = 11.40, SD =
0.29).

There were no significant anthropometric difference in sitting height between males and females,
t (11) = -1.72, p = .15, despite women (M = 0.73, SD = 0.03) attaining higher scores than women (M =
0.70, SD = 0.13).

There were no significant anthropometric difference in leg length between males and females, t
(11) = 1.79, p = .77, despite men (M = 7.67, SD = 0.08) attaining higher scores than women (M = 0.70, SD
= 0.10).

Test 3

r = 0.82, P< 0.05. At 95% confidence level there exists a significant relationship between

calcium intake and indices of bone density.

Test 4a

Body mass would not be a significant predictor of back lift dynamometry

R = 0.42, P< 0.05, the null hypothesis is significant at 95% confidence level, we fail to reject the

hypothesis and conclude that Body mass would not be a significant predictor of back lift

dynamometry.

Test 4b

Height, body mass and muscle mass would not be a significant predictors of back lift
dynamometry

R = 0.614, P< 0.05, the null hypothesis is significant at 95% confidence level, we conclude that
height, body mass and muscle would not be significant predictors of back lift dynamometry.

Regression equation

y = b0 +b1 x1 + b2 x2 + b3 x3

y = 518.349 + 0.051x1 + 0.872x2 – 2.012x3

y = 518.349 + 0.05(82) + 0.872(61) – 2.012(179)

y = 518.349 + 53.192 – 360.149 + 4.182

y = 211.392 + 4.182

y = 215.57 kgs
