In a study comparing calories in vegetarian and non vegetarian entrees the average number of calories in 28 vegetarian entrees w
as found to be Y¯ = 351 with a standard deviation S = 119 while the number of calories in 28 non vegetarian entrees was Y¯ = 305 with S = 125. A) Find a 99% confidence interval for µV − µNV.
B) Test at α = .05 that vegetarian entrees have more calories. State the hypothesis, test statistic and your conclusion.
C) If non vegetarian meals have on average 25 more calories (which all other things being equal would lead to a 7.8 kg weight increase per year), how large do the samples need to be to detect such an increase with power .8 at the above level of significance α = .05. Use the statistics obtained above as the parameter values needed for the power calculation.
F(x) stands for a function, and if x stands for the number of days, than she can do 225 per day, which would be the multiplication to find the toatl 225x.
