Question:

Perform the test in Problem 8.170, and report a p-value (two-tailed)?


Nutrition

The EPIC-Norfolk study, a study of diet and cancer in Great Britain, was performed to assess the relationship between dietary intake of vitamin C, plasma levels of vitamin C (in blood), and other predictors. One hypothesis is that smokers might have different vitamin C intake and vitamin C plasma levels than nonsmokers. Dietary intake of vitamin C was obtained using 7-day diet records in which a subject recorded what he or she ate in real time and a computer program was used to estimate nutrient intake based on the diet record data. The data in Table 8.40 were obtained for current smokers and nonsmokers.
