Chapter 11 10) Are low-fat diets or low-carb diets more effective for weight loss? A sample of 76 subjects went on a low-carbohydrate diet for six months. At the end of that time, the sample mean weight loss was 4.6 kilograms with a sample standard deviation of 7.07 kilograms. A second sample of 78 subjects went on a low-fat diet. Their sample mean weight loss was 2.6 kilograms with a standard deviation of 5.83 kilograms. Can you conclude that the mean weight loss of subjects having low-carb diets is less than the mean weight loss of subjects having low-fat diets? Use 0.01 level (a)State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.
