A new weight-reducing technique, consisting of a liquid protein diet, is currently undergoing tests before its introduction into the market. A typical test performed is the following: The weights of a random sample of five people are recorded before they are introduced to the liquid protein diet. The five individuals are then instructed to follow the liquid protein diet for 3 weeks. At the end of this period, their weights (in pounds) are again recorded. The results are listed in the table. Let µ1 be the true mean weight of individuals before starting the diet and let µ2 be the true mean weight of individuals after 3 weeks on the diet. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weights before and after the diet. Assume that the paired data came from a population that is normally distributed. Weight After Person Weight Before Diet Diet 1 145 138 190 185 3 183 180 4 192 186 199 195 Lower Confidence Interval (Round your answer to nearest thousandth) Upper Confidence Interval (Round your answer to nearest thousandth)
