Yes I got 2.165 and there were 4 degrees of freedom. I got -0.73 and 8.73 for a confidence interval. The other number I remember was 7.62 for the test statistic on the 2 standard deviations and H0 was accepted.

We do indeed (well I do certainly). I'm actually better at mechanics than stats so I did stats to prove to myself that I can do it.

Yeah but they threw in a sneaky to one decimal place for the confidence interval so it was -0.7 , 8.7. Which question on the two sds was that the rural and urban walks one?
