- Question 124). A powder diet is tested on 49
people, and a liquid diet is tested on 36 different people. The
population standard deviations are two pounds and three pounds,
respectively. Of interest is whether the liquid diet yields a
higher mean weight loss than the powder diet. Conduct a hypothesis
test to determine if there is a difference in these two diets
- (Question 13) Lesley E. Tan investigated the
relationship between left-handedness vs. right-handedness and motor
competence in preschool children. Random samples of 41 left-handed
preschool children and 41 right-handed preschool children were
given several tests of motor skills to determine if there is
evidence of a difference between the children based on this
experiment. The experiment produced the means and standard
deviations shown Table 10.36. Conduct a hypothesis
test to determine if there is a difference in motor competence
