A diet center claims that it has the most effective weight loss program in the region. Its advertisements say, "Participants in our program lose weight within two weeks." Six clients of this program are weighed on the first day of the diet and then two weeks later. Assume weight losses of participants in the program are approximately normally distributed.
Client | Weight on First Day of Diet | Weight Two Weeks Later
1 | 197 | 204
2 | 187 | 184
3 | 243 | 227
4 | 188 | 186
5 | 171 | 142
6 | 238 | 229
Let μD denote the average difference between the weight before the diet and two weeks after starting the diet. In this case, a positive μD denotes that a person on average loses weight while on the diet.
