A health psychologist was interested in dieting and weight loss among men and women. Based on previous research, it was predicted that in the first two weeks of a dieting program, women would lose more weight than men. To test this prediction, a randomly selected 18 husband-wife pairs were put on the same strenuous diet. Their weight loses after two weeks were measured and compared using a paired samples t-test. The following output was obtained.
