For patients with a history of osteomyelitis, it is desired to study a tannium implant method. Suppose the
The effectiveness of the tannium implant is determined by the amount of bone growth 1 year after
place the implant. The mean bone growth for patients with no history of previous infection is
about 3.2 mm. Based on her clinical experience, Dr. Calderón believes that bone growth in patients
with a history of previous infection is slower than that of those without a medical history. To confirm
her belief, Dr. Calderón wishes to test her hypotheses with a level of significance! = 0.05. In fact,
You want to be able to detect a significant difference of 0.9 mm with a probability of 0.90. Suppose the
The amount of bone growth is normally distributed with a variance &2 = 2.68. How many patients with
history of previous bone infection required for investigation
