As the population ages, there is increasing concern about accident-related injuries to the elderly. The article “Age and Gender Differences in Single-Step Recovery from a Forward Fall” (J. of Gerontology, 1999: M44–M50) reported on an experiment in which the maximum lean angle—the furthest 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, 34, 33, 27, 28, 32, 31, 34, 32, 27 OF: 18, 15, 23, 13, 12 Does the data suggest that true average maximum lean angle for older females is more than 10 degrees smaller than it is for younger females? State and test the relevant hypotheses at significance level .10 by obtaining a P-value.
