According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, overweight people on low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets lost more weight and got greater cardiovascular benefits than people on a conventional low-fat diet (The Boston Globe, July 17, 2008). A nutritionist wishes to verify these results and follows 30 dieters on the low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets and 30 dieters on the low-fat diet. These data (measured in pounds) can be found on the text website, labeled Different Diets. Let Low-carb or Mediterranean and Low-fat diets represent populations 1 and 2, respectively. Use Table 2.

a. Set up the hypotheses to test the claim that the mean weight loss for those on low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets is greater than the mean weight loss for those on a conventional low-fat diet.
H0: ?1 ? ?2 ? 0; HA: ?1 ? ?2 > 0
H0: ?1 ? ?2 = 0; HA: ?1 ? ?2 ? 0
H0: ?1 ? ?2 ? 0; HA: ?1 ? ?2 < 0
b-1.Using the appropriate commands in Excel, find the value of the test statistic. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the test is conducted at the 5% significance level. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Test statistic
b-2. What is the critical value and the rejection rule?
Reject H0 if tdf < -1.672.
Reject H0 if tdf < -2.002.
Reject H0 if tdf > 2.002.
Reject H0 if tdf > 1.672.
c. At the 5% significance level, can the nutritionist conclude that overweight people on low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets lost more weight than people on a conventional low-fat diet?
