The maximal oxygen consumption is the physical fitness of an individual. It is the amount of oxygen in milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute. The medical research center claims that athletes have a greater mean maximal oxygen consumption than non-athletes. The results for samples of the two groups are shown below. Can you support the research center's claim? Assume the population variances are equal. Sample Statistics for Maximal Oxygen Consumptions: Athletes: 56 ml/kg/min Non-Athletes: 47 ml/kg/min n = 21

The volume of oxygen consumed (in liters per minute) while a person is at rest and while a person is exercising (running on a treadmill) were both measured for 50 subjects. The goal is to determine if the volume of oxygen consumed during aerobic exercise can be estimated from the amount consumed at rest. The results are plotted below: Volume Consumed at Rest In this study, the explanatory variable is the instrument used to measure the volume of oxygen consumed, the volume of oxygen consumed at rest, and the volume of oxygen consumed while running. Either variable can be considered the response.

The physical fitness of athletes is measured by $^{u} V_{\mathrm{O}_{2}} \max _{2}^{\prime \prime}$ which is the maximum volume of oxygen consumed by an individual during incremental exercise (for example, on a treadmill). An average male has a $V_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}$ max of 45 $\mathrm{mL} \mathrm{O}_{2 / \mathrm{kg}}$ body mass/min, but a world-class male athlete can have a $V_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}$ max reading of 88.0 $\mathrm{mL} \mathrm{O}_{2} / \mathrm{kg}$ body mass/min. (a) Calculate the volume of oxygen, in mL, consumed in 1 by an average man who weighs 185 lbs and has a $V_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}$ max reading of 47.5 $\mathrm{mLO}_{2} / \mathrm{kg}$ body mass/min. (b) If this man lost $20 \mathrm{lb},$ exercised, and increased his $V_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}$ max to 65.0 $\mathrm{mL}$ O $_{2} / \mathrm{kg}$ body mass/min, how many mL of oxygen would he consume in 1 $\mathrm{hr}$ ?
