Questions 11, 12 and 13 deal with the following information:

A study was run to test the benefits of regular swimming (3 times/week) on weight loss in
females. To do so, the change in weight was measured both in a control group (n=15)
who did not swim and an experimental group who did swim regularly for 10 weeks
(n=15). Below are the means and SD of the weight loss (in kg). (Three-part question)

Control Group Swimming Group

Mean 1.58 5.88
SD 4 5

between in weight loss between the two groups at the 5% level (P<0.05) is:
a) 1.697
b) 1.701
c) 2.042
d) 2.048

e) 2.457
