3. Louisiana Governor wishes to assess if “Corona Lockdown” has resulted in weight gain for La residents. He obtained the following data for a small sample of five randomly chosen Louisiana residents’ weights after and before Lockdown:

Weight (lb)

Person After Before

Edward 152 147

Candy 158 153

Joan 147 150

Sam 160 155

Linda 153 145

__________________________________

Governor claims “There is statistically no significant difference between the average weight of the residents after and before Lockdown.” Use alpha = 0.05 and test the claim. Clearly state your hypothesis, decision rule, name and compute the test statistic, and, finally state your conclusion. Show work. (30 Pts)

The weight gain of women during pregnancy has an important effect on the birth weight of their children. If the weight gain is not adequate, the infant is more likely to be small and will tend to be less healthy. In a study conducted in two countries, weight gains (in kilogram) of women during the third trimester of pregnancy were measured. The results are summarized in the following table. Country n ȳ s2 Egypt 6 3.8 5.76 Kenya 10 3.3...

Researchers plan to study the weight gain of cows during a 3-month period. They wish to test at alpha = 0.01 if the mean weight gain exceeds 15 kg. Further, it is important for the researchers to detect if the mean weight gain is as large as 27 kg. An earlier study indicated that the standard deviation of the weight gains was around 14 kg. Since weight gains are normally distributed a t-test is to be used. (a) If the...
