    The document tests the claim of a diet program that participants will lose more than 15 pounds by analyzing before and after weight data from 9 individuals. It calculates the mean and standard deviation of weights before and after. A t-test is used to compare the means, finding a p-value of 0.0148 which is less than 0.05, so the null hypothesis that the average weight loss is less than or equal to 15 pounds is rejected. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence that participants lost more than 15 pounds on average.

    3.

    ) A new diet program claims that the participants will lose more than 15 pounds after
    completion of the program. The following data represents the before and after weights of nine
    individuals who completed the program. Test the claim at the = 0.05 level.

    Before: 221, 215, 206, 185, 202, 197, 244, 188, 218

    After : 200, 192, 195, 166, 187, 177, 227, 165, 201

    x̄1 = 208.44 S1= 18.37873

    x̄2 = 190 S2= 19.35846

    n=9

    H0: µ1 - µ2 ≤ 15

    Ha: µ1 - µ2 > 15

    Sd = 3.9087

    t=2.6436

    p-value = 0.0148 (using t-table)

    p-value obtained is < 0.05, therefore, null hypothesis will be rejected.

    Therefore, there is sufficient evidence on the participants lose more than 15 pounds after
    completion of the program.
