Question

Suppose you want to study the effectiveness of a diet. Suppose that eight people were randomly selected to participate in your study. The weight (lb) of each of the eight participants is recorded before and after the diet in the following table. You know from past studies that body weight is approximately normally distributed. Patient Before After 1 150 146 2 160 159 3 200 200 4 178 174 5 190 189 6 167 160 7 151 148 8 210 198 Mean ($\mu$)
