According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, overweight people on low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean d

iets lost more weight and got greater cardiovascular benefits than people on a conventional low-fat diet (The Boston Globe, July 17, 2008). A nutritionist wishes to verify these results and follows 30 dieters on the low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets and 30 dieters on the low-fat diet. These data (measured in pounds) can be found on the text website, labeled Different Diets. Let Low-carb or Mediterranean and Low-fat diets represent populations 1 and 2, respectively. Use Table 2.

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A two-sample test is to be performed to determine whether the mean weight loss for those on low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets is greater than the mean weight loss for those on a conventional low-fat diet.

(a)

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

<em>H</em>₀: <em>μ</em>₁ - <em>μ</em>₂ ≤ 0 vs. <em>Hₐ</em>: <em>μ</em>₁ - <em>μ</em>₂ > 0

(b-1)

Use Excel to perform the t test for independent samples.

The output is attached below.

The test statistic value is, <em>t</em> = 7.58.

(b-2)

The degrees of freedom is, df = 58.

The critical value is, <em>t</em>₅₈ = 1.672.

The rejection region is:

Rejected <em>H</em>₀ if <em>t > t</em>₅₈ = 1.672.

(c)

Decision:

<em>t </em> = 7.58 <em>> t</em>₅₈ = 1.672

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Thus, the nutritionist can conclude that overweight people on low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets lost more weight than people on a conventional low-fat diet.

The correct option is Yes.
