2) In women, calcitonin levels decrease after menopause. A study to examine this was done in 1989 by Reginster et. al. They found the following results in pg/ml (do NOT use R):
Before menopause: 86 104 74 86 86 50 83 71 119 83
After menopause: 42 25 51 72Use a Mann-Whitney U test. Use α = .01. Do calcitonin levels drop after menopause?
3) (a) Repeat problem (2), but this time use a t-test (Welch's). Do NOT use R. Use α = .01. Are you surprised by the results?
(b) Now use R and read the data into R and make q-q plots. Does this explain what happened?
