To determine if chocolate milk was as effective as other carbohydrate replacemen

Question

To determine if chocolate milk was as effective as other carbohydrate replacement drinks, nine male cyclists performed an intense workout followed by a drink and a rest period. At the end of the rest period, each cyclist performed an endurance trial where he exercised until exhausted and time to exhaustion was measured. Each cyclist completed the entire regimen on two different days. On one day the drink provided was chocolate milk and on the other day the drink provided was a carbohydrate replacement drink. Data consistent with summary quantities appear in the table below. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Subtract the carbohydrate replacement times from the chocolate milk times. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and the P-value to three decimal places.) Time to Exhaustion (minutes) Cyclist 5 9 59.58 25.30 50,34 57.77 55.86 59.13 23.96 40.38 22.35 Milk 42.01 10.56 | 52.16 39.86 | 30.63|45.4 22.48|34.20|35.77 Replacement df-

Explanation / Answer

After getting differences for each time of exhaustion we find the mean of the difference as d

and the standard deviation for the difference as sd

and the sample size is n

So,

t = d ÷ sd/ n

After calculating we get,

t = 2.26

df = 8

P-value = 0.054
