Question

Answer the given problem below by following in hypothesis testing.

Sample problem: Determine the weight of the students before and during the quarantine. Did the students lose more fat before the quarantine?

Weight before quarantine:

sample mean = 5.9 kg

sample standard deviation = 4.1 kg sample size = n = 42

standard error = SEM1 = 4.1/ √42 = 0.633

Weight during quarantine:

sample mean = 4.1 kg

sample standard deviation = 3.7 kg sample size = n = 47

standard error = SEM2 = 3.7/ √47 = 0.540

measure of variability = sq root [(0.633)2 + (0.540)2] = 0.83

1. Determine the p-value = 0.03 (LOS= 95%; α=0.05)

2. Make a decision

3. Conclusion
