A researcher is investigating the effectiveness of two weight loss treatments. The number of patients attending Treatment A and Treatment B are 30 and 32 respectively. The patients’ weight losses (in Kg) after a two-month treatment period are recorded and shown in Table 1:
What type of research design you think this research should be classified? Explain your answer.
Based on the research objective of the study, identify the:
Independent and dependent variables of this research.
Scale of measurement of each of the independent and dependent variables.
For EACH of the treatment, determine/construct the following measures and histograms of weight losses using SPSS or any suitable statistical analysis tool:
Mean
Median
Range
Histogram
d. Based on the histograms of weight losses produced in (c), briefly describe:
The shape of distribution of weight losses for EACH treatment.
How does the distribution of Treatment A differ from Treatment B

It is a well-known fact that 40% of college students LOVE taking Mathematics. A certain professor at WCC wanted to test to see if a majority of students at WCC LOVE taking Mathematics. To test this, the professor randomly samples 1000 students and finds that 515 of them LOVE taking Mathematics.At the 0.05 level of significance, does the above sample provide evidence to suggest a majority of students at WCC LOVE taking Mathematics?
Step 1: Define the parameter & setup the testStep 2: State the Level of SignificanceStep 3: Find the value of the Test StatisticsStep 4: Find P-Value OR Find Critical ValueStep 5: State Conclusion and why
Variation in gasoline mileage among makes and models of automobiles is influenced substantially by the weight and horsepower of the vehicles. An automobile manufacturer would like to determine if heavier cars consumer more gas than lighter cars. He collects data on 25 heavy and 25 light cars to test this hypothesis. What analysis would you complete to answer this question?

The bivariate data given below were taken from a sample of sixteen Cadets, each bought new two years ago, and each sold used within the past month. For each Cadet in the sample, we have listed both the mileage x (in thousands of miles) that the Cadet had on its odometer at the time it was sold used and the price y (in thousands of dollars) at which the Cadet was sold used. With the aim of predicting the used selling price from the number of miles driven, we might examine the least-squares regression line, y = 41.51-0.49x. This line is shown in the scatter plot below.
