A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will be changed if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Four subjects were pre-tested, and they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The results are shown in the table. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean of cholesterol levels has been changed after six weeks at α=0.2α=0.2? Assume that the differences are from an approximately normally distributed population.

She gives each of the 500 students in her course the same final exam, but some students have 45 minutes to complete the exam while others have 60 minutes. Each student is randomly assigned one of the examination times based on the flip of a coin. Let Y; denote the number of points (out of 100) scored on the exam by the ith student (i = 1, ..., 500), and let X¿ be the amount of minutes that the student had to complete the exam (so X₁ = 45 or X₂ = 60).
