loss to within 8 pounds from the sample average weight, with 95%
confidence?
Is your estimation always correct? Please briefly explain your
reasoning.

random sample of 100 participants in the diet plan, a mean weight
change of -2.5 pounds and a standard deviation of 10 pounds are
observed. In order to claim that the diet plan is effective, the
whole part of the confidence interval for the mean weight change
has to be below zero. In other words,...

A group of 78 people enrolled in a weight-loss program. They
also had to adhere to a regular exercise program. After six months,
the mean weight loss was 25 pounds with a standard deviation of 9
pounds. A second group of 43 people enrolled in the same program
with the exception of regular exercise. After six months, their
mean weight loss was 14 with standard deviation 7 pounds. Construct
a 99% confidence interval for the mean difference in weight
losses.
