A Zone diet is one with a 40%-30%-30% distribution of carbohydrate, protein, and fat, respectively, and is based on the book Enter the Zone. In a study conducted by researchers Christopher Gardner and associates, 79 subjects were administered the Zone diet. After 12 months, the mean weight loss was 6 kg, with a standard deviation of 5.4 kg. Do these results suggest that the weight loss was statistically significantly greater than zero at the 0.05 level of significance? Use the p-value method of hypothesis testing. What do you think about the results? Do you feel the diet is effective for weight loss?

Questions:

1, Requirements?

2, Hypothesis Test?

3,Do you think the diet is effective for weight lost?

4, what do you think about the results?

Expert Solution

Given that,
population mean(u)=0
sample mean, x =6
standard deviation, s =5.4
number (n)=79
null, Ho: μ=0
alternate, H1: μ>0
level of significance, α = 0.05
from standard normal table,right tailed t α/2 =1.665
since our test is right-tailed
reject Ho, if to > 1.665
we use test statistic (t) = x-u/(s.d/sqrt(n))
to =6-0/(5.4/sqrt(79))
to =9.876
| to | =9.876
critical value
the value of |t α| with n-1 = 78 d.f is 1.665
we got |to| =9.876 & | t α | =1.665
make decision
hence value of | to | > | t α| and here we reject Ho
p-value :right tail - Ha : ( p > 9.8758 ) = 0
hence value of p0.05 > 0,here we reject Ho
ANSWERS
---------------
1.
null, Ho: μ=0
alternate, H1: μ>0
2.
t test for single mean with unknown population standard deviation
3.
test statistic: 9.876
critical value: 1.665
decision: reject Ho
p-value: 0
we have enough evidence to support the claim that the weight loss was statistically significantly greater than zero
4.
yes,
i feel the diet is effective for weight loss.

HIGH PROTEIN/LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIET. One of the current diets that seems to produce substantial weight loss in some persons is the high protein/low carbohydrate diet advocated by such authors as Atkins in his book, Diet Revolution, and Eades and Eades in their book, Protein Power. Although many nutritionists are concerned about the side effects of these diets, others feel the potential risks are outweighed (no pun intended) by the weight loss. The following table gives the grams of fat, carbohydrates,...

A new low fat/carbohydrate diet was designed to assist with weight loss.
