Hi

Note: 10 women

Using the Excel Data Analysis Tool:

Before: 164 175 135 165 192 180 175 205 210 208

  || m =180.9 and SD = 23.6

 After: 161 170 134 165 188 181 173 195 180 197

 || m = 174.4  and SD = 18.6



  t = 

 degrees of Freedom = (10+10)-2= 18 ... t =.6841, 5% significance level...

(Using t-test Table or t-test Calculator)

We can conclude that there is NO significant decrease in weight after the program
