A study is conducted to test a diet for losing weight. A group of 100 volunteers who took the diet (X) and a group of 100 volunteers who did not take any specific diet (Y). Their average weights were measured and are given in the following table, answer the following questions:

a. Construct a 90% confidence interval for true average weight in State A (HA).
b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for difference between true average weights in
States A and B (HA - Ha).
c. Do the results show that true average weight for people who take the diet is less than
true average weight of those who do not take the diet at a = 0.05?
Z0.1 = 1.28
Z0.05 = 1.65
Z0.025 = 1.96
Diet Group
x = 189 lb
No-Diet Group
y = 195 lb
s = 150
S = 250
