The effect of phosphate supplementation on bone formation wasassessed in six healthy dogs. For each dog, bone formation wasmeasured for a 12-week period of phosphate supplementation as wellas for a prior 12-week control period.
| Dog | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Control | 1.73 | 3.37 | 3.59 | 2.05 | 1.86 | 3.6 |
| Phosphate | 8.16 | 4.48 | 3.98 | 5.24 | 3.04 | 7.03 |
Test the claim that there is a significant difference in boneformation between the control time period and the phosphatesupplementation time period. Use α = 0.10.
a. State whether the test is:
i) a two-sample t-test (independent samples)
ii) a matched pairs
iii) a two sample proportion test
b. Write H0 and H1
c. Using Minitab, list the test statistic the p-value yourconclusion: reject H0 or do not reject H0. Note: if α is notprovided, use a 0.05 significance level
d.  Write a sentence that explains your conclusion incontext with the claim. Include the significance level and p-valuein this sentence.
e.  Copy and paste the relevant Minitab output intothe document. Answers alone are sufficient, you do not need to copythe exercise into the document.
