Question - Part 1
Calculate the difference between the before weight and after weight of all 30 participants, where a negative value represents losing weight. Then, find the mean difference of weights. (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth)
Question - Part 2
Next, find the sample standard deviation for the difference of weights. (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth)
Question - Part 3
The goal is to find the 90% confidence interval for the difference in weight. Find the t-critical value. (Round your answer to the nearest thousandth)
t.9 = ____
Question Part 4
Find the error, E, for the 90% confidence interval. (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth)
E = ____
Question - Part 4
Find the 90% confidence interval for the difference in weights. (Round all answers to the nearest hundredth)
