In 2012, the mean weight of women was reported at ÎĽ2012 = 162 lbs. Suppose that an investigator hypothesizes that weights are even higher in 2015. She collected a sample of 29 women in the year of 2015, from which she measured a mean weight of 158 lbs with a standard deviation of 10 lbs. An two-tailed alpha level = .05 is applied. Select ALL correct statement(s) below: The investigator aims to compare a sample mean (2015) to a population mean (2012). A one-sample t test should be used to test this hypothesis. The degrees of freedom for this test is 28. The critical value for this test is 2.048 Based on the obtained t statistic and the critical t statistic, the investigator fails to reject the null hypothesis. The conclusion of this study is: in 2015, women's mean weight is significantly different from that in 2012.

The mean weight gain for women during a full-term pregnancy is $30.2$ pounds. The standard deviation of weight gain for this group is $9.9$ pounds, and the shape of the distribution of weight gains is symmetric and unimodal. (Source: BMJ 2016; 352 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.i555) a. State the weight gain for women one standard deviation below the mean and for one standard deviation above the mean. b. Is a weight gain of 35 pounds more or less than one standard deviation from the mean?
