consider a study that compares the Atkins diet to a conventional diet. A study at the University of Pennsylvania selected a sample of 63 subjects from the local population of obese adults. Researchers randomly assigned 33 to the Atkins diet and 30 subjects to a conventional diet. Test whether there is a significant difference in the mean weight loss (measured in pounds) across the two different diet programs. Using software: Generate summary statistics (central tendency and variability measures) for the two samples and briefly summarize what they say. b. Conduct a test of significance for the difference between the mean sales across the two different locations in the store. Be sure to show the output from the software and interpret the results. c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference parameter in mean sales and make an interpretation. d. Finally, are there any other factors, besides where the product is placed, that could possibly influence sales (identify at least 2)? Include a brief explanation of each.

(a)->
Summary statistics
Descriptive Statistics: Atkins, Conventional
Statistics
Variable | N | N* | Mean | SE Mean | StDev | Minimum | Q1 | Median | Q3 | Maximum |
Atkins | 33 | 0 | 27.364 | 0.614 | 3.525 | 20.000 | 25.000 | 27.000 | 30.500 | 34.000 |
Conventional | 30 | 0 | 26.767 | 0.712 | 3.901 | 21.000 | 24.000 | 26.000 | 29.000 | 34.000 |
(b)->
Two-Sample T-Test and CI: Atkins, Conventional
Method
μ₁: mean of Atkins |
µ₂: mean of Conventional |
Difference: μ₁ - µ₂ |
Equal variances are not assumed for this analysis.
Descriptive Statistics
Sample | N | Mean | StDev | SE Mean |
Atkins | 33 | 27.36 | 3.53 | 0.61 |
Conventional | 30 | 26.77 | 3.90 | 0.71 |
Estimation for Difference
Difference | 95% CI for Difference |
0.597 | (-1.285, 2.479) |
Test
Null hypothesis | H₀: μ₁ - µ₂ = 0 |
Alternative hypothesis | H₁: μ₁ - µ₂ ≠ 0 |
T-Value | DF | P-Value |
0.63 | 58 | 0.528 |
Here P- value is very large value i.e. 0.528. so we don't have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
Hence there is no significance difference between the mean sales across the two different locations in the store.
(c)->
95% confidence interval for the difference parameter in mean sales is (-1.285, 2.479).
i.e. the difference between the population mean difference between the two sales across the two different locations is lies between -1.285 and 2.479 with 95% confidence.
(d)->
The possible factors of weight loss other than diet are:
(1) Some samples may loss their weight due to their poor health condition.
(2) Average weight of one location may differ from the other location. and higher the weight, easier to loss the weight. so this may be other factors which affect the weight loss.
(3) Quality of life of different places may be different.

In a study of Marfan syndrome, Pyeritz et al.(A-34) reported the following severity scores of patients with no, mild, and marked dural ectasia. May we conclude, on the basis of these data, that mean severity scores differ among the three populations represented in the study? Let a ¼ :05 and find the p value. Use Tukey’s procedure to test for significant differences among individual pairs of sample means. No dural ectasia: 18, 18, 20, 21, 23, 23, 24, 26, 26,...
It appears that sons of fathers who display low self-esteem tend to develop low self-esteem as well. Kuya conducted a study to test this hypothesis, since he is pretty sure that there must be a difference between the two groups, with sons having higher self-esteem than their fathers. He measured the self-esteem of the fathers and their sons using the Fearful Insecure Neurotic Emotional (FINE) test. The higher the score, the lower is the self-esteem. Is there a significant difference?...
