In a study of a weight loss program, 40 subjects lost a mean of 2.4 lbs after 12 months. methods of statistics can be used to show that if this diet had no effect, the likelihood of getting these results is roughly 9 chances in 1000. does the weight loss program have statistical significance? does the weight loss program have practical significance?

Yes, the program is statistically significant because there is almost no possibility for the results to take place just by chance. No, the program has no practical significance because an individual starting a weight loss program is probably expecting to lose a much higher amount of weight than just 2.4 lb.

find out yourself so

the reason the welfare system causes so much of a burden on its recipients is because the welfare system does not give its recipients any real tools to actually get out of poverty. the welfare system has embedded poverty deeper into society and has made it harder and harder for people to escape poverty.

in other words, it stoped the poor, and now its making it worse.

hope this . : )      

and im sorry it took so long for your question to get answered
