After running a mile a day over a period of two weeks, the average amount of weight loss is 2.5 pounds. A dietitian, who publishes health articles in a newspaper, states their new diet program helps with additional weight loss when combining their special diet with running a mile a day over a period of two weeks. Interested in studying the dietitian's article further, you ask friends who have tried the dietitian's new program and you determine their weight loss to be 3.0 pounds in a two week period, on average. As you set up a hypothesis test to determine if the dietitian's article is correct, what is the dietitian's claim? a. Adults should run every day to lose weight.
b. The average amount of weight loss is less than 2.52.5 pounds.
c. The average amount of weight loss is greater than 3.03.0 pounds.
d. The average amount of weight loss is greater than 2.52.5 pounds.

d. The average amount of weight loss is greater than 2.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

After running a mile a day over a period of two weeks, the average amount of weight loss is 2.5 pounds.

At the null hypothesis, we test if this mean is of 2.5, that is:

A dietitian, who publishes health articles in a newspaper, states their new diet program helps with additional weight loss.

With the additional weight loss, the dietitian claims that the mean is more than the value presented at the null hypothesis, that is, more than 2.5, and thus, the correct answer is:

And thus, the correct option is given by option d.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
