The nurse lectured them on the dangers of this condition and put them on a new diet.Shown are the cholesrweol readings of the 11 employees both before the new diet and one month after the use of the diet began. Construct a 98% confident interval to estimate the population mean difference of cholesterol readings for people who are involved in this programme. Assume differences in cholesterol readings are normally distributed in the population.

Hi
Before: m1 = 244.7 and sd = 26.4
After:  m2 =216.6 and sd = 16.8
Ho:  m1 = m2 
Ha   m1 ≠ m2 
  Critical Value: two-tailed  |t-value| > t(.98, df = 22-2) = 2.53 reject Ho
 = -2.9786
p-value = .0048
|-2.9786| > 2.53 Reject Ho. 
Sufficient evidence to show that the Diet made a difference.

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
