The degenerative disease osteoarthritis most frequently affects weight-bearing joints such as the knee. The article "Evidence of Mechanical Load Redistribution at the Knee Joint in the Elderly when Ascending Stairs and Ramps" (Annals of Biomed. Engr., 2008: 467–476) presented the following summary data on stance duration (ms) for samples of both older and younger adults. Assume that both stance duration distributions are normal. a. Calculate and interpret a 99% CI for true average stance duration among elderly individuals. b. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level .05 to decide whether true average stance duration is larger among elderly individuals than among younger individuals.
