EXAMPLE 10.17

Summary statistics for gestational age study. We start by making a table with the mean and standard deviation for each of the variables, the correlation, and the sample size. These calculations should be familiar from Chapters 1 and 2. Here is the summary:

VariableMeanStandard

CorrelationSample size
Diametersx = 8.36062r = 0.87699n = 6
Gestational agesy = 8.75595

These quantities are the building blocks for our calculations.
