We are interested in determining whether husbands differ from their wives on weight loss after taking a weight loss supplement. To evaluate this, we need to conduct a(n): A. Independent samples t-test (*this was incorrect*) B. Dependent samples t-test C. One sample t-test D. Any of these would be appropriate My next best guess would be a one sample t-test but I am not sure anymore

A researcher is interested in the effects of a new weight loss supplement. Participants in this double-blind study are randomly assigned to either a group that receives the new supplement or a group that receives a placebo. Participants are weighed before starting the program. After 6 weeks of taking either the new supplement or the placebo, participants return to the lab to be weighed. Provide the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Determine which type of analysis would be appropriate to...

1. A farmer was interested in determining if genetic variation plays a role in the weight of cattle. The farmer measured the average weight of 12 different parents and their offspring at five years of age. The data is presented below. What is the mean and variance for the weight of the parents and of their offspring? What is the correlation between the parents’ weight and the weight of their offspring? For each 1 kg increase in a parents’ weight,...

An experimenter was interested in dieting and weight loss among men and women. It was believed that women tend to lose more weight than men in the first 2 weeks of a standard dieting program. A random sample of 15 married coupes were put on the same diet. Their weight loss after 2 weeks is listed below. Conduct a directional t-test of the difference using .05 as your level of significance. Be sure to complete all steps. Wives (pounds) 2.7,4.4,3.5,3.7,5.6,5.1,3.8,3.5,5.6,4.2,6.3,4.4,3.9,5.1,3.4...

1) You are interested in testing if there is a difference in weight-loss between 3 popular diet types; low calorie, low fat and low carb. Participants are randomly assigned one of the three groups or a control group. The control group will be told that are participating in a weight-loss study, but will not be following any particular diet. This is to study the placebo effect, weight-loss from just participating in the study. At the start of the study,each participant's...
