Q1)- Ten individuals have participated in a diet-modification program to stimulate weight loss.
Their weight both before and after participation in the program is shown in the following list. Is
there evidence to support the claim that this particular diet-modification program is effective in
producing a mean weight reduction? Use α= 0.05.

Q2) Consider the weight-loss data in (Q1). Is there evidence to support the claim that this
particular diet modification program will result in a mean weight loss of at least 10 pounds? Use α
= 0.05.
Q3)- Consider the weight-loss data in (Q1). Suppose that, if the diet-modification program
results in mean weight loss of at least 10 pounds, it is important to detect this with probability of
at least 0.90. Was the use of 10 subjects an adequate sample size? If not, how many subjects should
have been used?

Q4)- (a) A study was performed to determine whether men and women differ in their
repeatability in assembling components on printed circuit boards. Random samples of 25 men and
21 women were selected, and each subject assembled the units. The two sample standard
deviations of assembly time were smen= 0.98 minutes and swomen= 1.02 minutes. Is there evidence to
support the claim that men and women differ in repeatability for this assembly task? Use ɑ = 0.02
and state any necessary assumptions about the underlying distribution of the data.

Q4) (b) Find a 98% confidence interval on the ratio of the two variances for the data in part (a).
Provide an interpretation of the interval.

Q.C 1)- Two different analytical tests can be used to determine the impurity level in steel alloys.
Eight specimens are tested using both procedures, and the results are shown in the following
tabulation. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that both tests give the same mean impurity
level, using α = 0.01?
