- A sample of 8 people participated in a low calorie weight loss program for 16 weeks. Each of the participants had their weight (in pounds) recorded before they started the program and after they finished the program. The following results were obtained. At the 0.05 level of significance, test the claim that, on average, this 16 week low calorie weight loss program is effective? Assume that the amount of weight people lose after 16 weeks participating in this low calorie weight loss program reasonably follows a normal distribution.arrow_forwardA nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusionarrow_forwardSuppose that a group of researchers is planning to test a new weight loss supplement. They have selected a random sample of 45 people who are trying to lose weight and plan to measure the amount of weight lost after one month of using the supplement. Assume that the researchers know from prior experiments that the standard deviation of weight lost in one month, , is 1.7 lb. To show that the supplement is effective, they plan to use a one-sample z‑test of Ho : u= 0lb against H1 : u > 0lb , where is the mean amount of weight lost in one month. They have also determined that, for a test with a significance level of 0.05, the power of the test is 0.9347 if the mean amount of weight lost is actually 0.8 lb. What is the probability that the researchers will reject their null hypothesis if the mean amount of weight lost is 0.8 lb or more? Give your answer as a percentage, precise to two decimal places.arrow_forward
