A weight loss supplement was administered to 25 obese individuals and after six weeks the differences in weight of each subject (starting weight - ending weight) were measured. A test of Ho: 0 against H: H > 0 was performed, where u is the population mean weight loss that would occur in six weeks if the supplement were given to all obese individuals in the population of interest. The test statistic came out to be t = 1.51. Therefore: O The P-value is between .05 and .10, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly strong. O The P-value is between .05 and .10, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly weak. O The P-value is between .10 and .20, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly strong. O The P-value is between.10 and .20, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly weak.

Question
A weight loss supplement was administered to 25 obese individuals and after six weeks the
differences in weight of each subject (starting weight - ending weight) were measured. A test of Ho:
0 against H: H > 0 was performed, where u is the population mean weight loss that
would occur in six weeks if the supplement were given to all obese individuals in the population of
interest. The test statistic came out to be t = 1.51. Therefore:
O The P-value is between .05 and .10, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly strong.
O The P-value is between .05 and .10, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly weak.
O The P-value is between .10 and .20, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly strong.
O The P-value is between.10 and .20, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly weak.
