Essay

Preliminary data analyses indicates that use of a paired t-test is reasonable. Perform the hypothesis test by using eitherthe critical-value approach or the P-value approach as indicated. Assume that the null hypothesis is H0:μ1=μ2\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu _ { 1 } = \mu _ { 2 }
-The table below shows the weights, in pounds, of seven subjects before and after following a particular diet for two months.  Subject  A  B  C  D  E  F  G  Before 196187177161197168154 After 189178175166183170142\begin{array} { c | r r r r r r r } \text { Subject } & \text { A } & \text { B } & \text { C } & \text { D } & \text { E } & \text { F } & \text { G } \\ \hline \text { Before } & 196 & 187 & 177 & 161 & 197 & 168 & 154 \\ \hline \text { After } & 189 & 178 & 175 & 166 & 183 & 170 & 142 \end{array} At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the diet is effective in reducing weight?
