Question

A study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of an aquarobic exercise program for patients with osteoarthritis. A convenience sample of 70 individuals with arthritis was selected, and each person was randomly assigned to one oftwo groups. The first group participated in a weekly aquarobic exercise program for 8 weeks; the second group served as a control. Several pieces of data were collected from the individuals, including their total cholesterol (mg).Determine if there is a significant difference in the mean cholesterol for the two groups (aquarobic & control) at the start of the study using a significance level of 0.10.DifferenceSample Diff.

Estimate the mean cholesterol change using 90% confidence.• The formula which should be used for this interval is:(71 – 72) ± t|n1n2Sa土tVnd• Withthan the mean cholesterol after participation.

That interval was found to be (-1.814, 1.888). Based on this interval and the one which you calculated for the aquarobic group,what conclusion wouldyoudraw?Neithergrouphad a significant change in mean cholesterol.The control group did not have a significant change in mean cholesterol, while the aquarobic group had a significant decrease in mean cholesterol.The mean cholesterol for the control group increased, while the aquarobic group had a significant decrease in mean cholesterol.O The aquarobic group did not have a significant change in mean cholesterol, while the control group had a significant increase in mean cholesterol.Bothgroupshad a significant decrease in mean cholesterol. However, the decrease for the aquarobic group was larger.
