A diet doctor claims that the average North American is more than 20 pounds overweight. To test his claim, a random sample of 20 North Americans was weighed, and the difference between their actual and ideal weights was calculated. The data is listed below: 16 23 18 41 22 18 23 19 22 15 18 35 16 15 17 19 23 15 16 26 The sample statistics are: ?̅ = 20.85, ? = 6.76. Can we infer, at the 5% significance level, that the doctor’s claim is true? How would you solve this using excel?
