A sample of 70 subjects went on a low-carb At the end of that time, the sample mean weight loss was 10.5 pounds with a sample standard deviation of 7.09 pounds. A second sample of 76 went on a low-fat diet. Their sample mean weight loss was 18.0 with a standard deviation of 7.26. Can you conclude that their was no difference in the mean weight loss between the two diets? Use a = .05 level.
