Overeating for just four weeks can increase fat mass and weight over two years later, a Swedish study shows. Researchers recruited 18 healthy and normal-weight people with an average age of 26. For a four-week period, participants increased calorie intake by (mostly by eating fast food) and limited daily activity to a maximum of 5000 steps per day (considered sedentary). Not surprisingly, weight and body fat of the participants went up significantly during the study and then decreased after the study ended. Participants are believed to have returned to the diet and lifestyle they had before the experiment. However, two and a half years after the experiment, the mean weight gain for participants was 6.8 lbs with a standard error of 1.2 lbs. A control group that did not binge had no change in weight. Required:
a. Give a 95% confidence interval for parameter.
b. Give the margin of error.

Acell phone company offers two plans to its subscribers. at the time new subscribers sign up, they are asked to provide some demographic information. the mean yearly income for a sample of 40 subscribers to plan a is $45,000 with a standard deviation of $9,200. for a sample of 25 subscribers to plan b, the mean income is $64,300 with a standard deviation of $7,100. at the 0.025 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude the mean income of those selecting plan b is larger? assume unequal population standard deviations. hint: for the calculations, assume the plan a as the first sample. what is the decision rule? (negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answer to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic. (negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answer to 2 decimal places.) what is your decision regarding h0 ? reject h0 fail to reject h0 compute the p-value. less than 0.01 between 0.01 and 0.025 between 0.025 and 0.05 between 0.05 and 0.10 greater than 0.10
