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.

Answer:

The correct option is the graph on the bottom right whose screen grab is attached (please find)

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The required model height for the designed clothes should be less than or equal to 5 feet 10 inches

The equation for the variance in height is of the straight line form;

y = m·x + c

Where x is the height  in inches

Given that the maximum height allowable is 70 inches, when x = 0 we have;

y = m·0 + c = 70

Therefore, c = 70

Also when the variance = 0 the maximum height should be 70 which gives the x and y-intercepts as 70 and 70 respectively such that m = 1

The equation becomes;

y ≤ x + 70

Also when x > 70, we have y ≤ \mid-x + 70\mid   with a slope of -1

To graph an inequality, we shade the area of interest which in this case of ≤ is on the lower side of the solid line and the graph that can be used to determine the possible variance levels that would result in an acceptable height is the bottom right inequality  graph.

The price of a shirt is marked down from $12.50 to $10,00. What is the percent decrease of the shirt?
choli [55]

Answer: 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, The price of a shirt is marked down from $12.50 to $10.00.

Previous price = $12.50

New price = $10.00

Change in price = Previous price - New price

= $12.50 - $10.00

= $2.50

Now, the percent decrease of the shirt = \dfrac{\text{Change in price}}{\text{Prevoius price}}\times100

=\dfrac{2.50}{12.50}\times100\\\\=20\%

Hence, the percent decrease of the shirt = 20%.

The new athletic facility on the downtown campus measures 0.74 km by 4 km. How many square
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The sports facility is 2,960,000 sq. m   in area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the sport facility = 0.74 km by 4 km

The Length of the facility = 4 km

The width of the facility = 0.74 km

Now, 1 km = 1000 meters

⇒ 4 km = 4 x (1000) = 4000 meters

and 0.74 km = 0.74 x (1000) = 740 meters

Now, AREA OF THE RECTANGLE = LENGTH x WIDTH

So, the area of the facility = 4000 m  x 740 km

                                         =  2,960,000 sq. m

Hence, the sports facility is 2,960,000 sq. m  in area.
