If we increase our food intake, we generally gain weight. nutrition scientists can calculate the amount of weight gain that would be associated with a given increase in calories. in one study, 16 nonobese adults, aged 25 to 36 years, were fed 1000 calories per day in excess of the calories needed to maintain a stable body weight. the subjects maintained this diet for eight weeks, so they consumed a total of 56,000 extra calories.18 according to theory, 3500 extra calories will translate into a weight gain of 1 pound. therefore, we expect each of these subjects to gain 56,000/3500 = 16 pounds (lb). here are the weights before and after the 8-week period, expressed in kilograms (kg).

(b) find the mean and the standard deviation for the weight change. (round your answers to four decimal places.)

a) d: 6,3.9,6.4,3.8,4.7,6.7,3.7,6,5.8,2.7,5.3,3.3,1.4,7.1,6.4,2.4

b)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=test weight before , y = test weight after

x: 55.7, 54.9, 59.6, 62.3, 74.2 ,75.6, 70.7, 53.3,73.3, 63.4, 68.1, 73.7, 91.7, 55.9, 61.7, 57.8

y: 61.7, 58.8, 66.0, 66.1, 78.9, 82.3, 74.4, 59.3,79.1, 66.1, 73.4, 77.0, 93.1, 63.0, 68.1, 60.2

(a) For each subject, subtract the weight before from the weight after to determine the weight change in kg.

For this case we can define the difference and we obtain this:

Individual 1 : d1=61.7-55.7=6         Individual 2 : d2=58.8-54.9=3.9

Individual 3 : d3=66.0-59.6=6.4   Individual 4 : d4=66.1-62.3=3.8

Individual 5 : d5=78.9-74.2=4.7    Individual 6 : d6=82.3-75.6=6.7

Individual 7 : d7=74.4-70.7=3.7     Individual 8 : d8=59.3-53.3=6

Individual 9 : d9=79.1-73.3=5.8     Individual 10 : d10=66.1-63.4=2.7

Individual 11 : d11=73.4-68.1=5.3    Individual 12 : d12=77.0-73.7=3.3

Individual 13 : d13=93.1-91.7=1.4    Individual 14 : d14=63-55.9=7.1

Individual 15 : d15=68.1-61.7=6.4   Individual 16 : d16=60.2-57.8=2.4

(b) Find the mean and the standard deviation for the weight change. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

We can calculate the mean difference  like this:

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

answer: 7. if the functions had a negative leading coefficient and is of even degree, which statement about the graph is true?
