Question:
30. Sports and Achilles Tendon Injuries Some sports that involve a significant amount of running, jumping, or hopping put participants at risk for Achilles tendon injuries. A study in The American Journal of Sports Medicine looked at the diameter (in mm) of the injured tendons for patients who participated in these types of sports activities.6 Suppose that the Achilles tendon diameters in the general population have a mean of 5.97 millimeters (mm). When the diameters of the injured tendon were measured for a random sample of 31 patients, the average diameter was 9.80 mm with a standard deviation of 1.95 mm. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that the average diameter of the tendon for patients with Achilles tendon injuries is greater than 5.97 mm? Test at the 5% level of significance.
