A sample of 77 subjects went on a low-carbohydrate diet for six months. At the end of that time, the sample mean weight loss was 4.7 kilograms with a sample standard deviation of 7.16 kilograms. A second sample of 79 subjects went on a low-fat diet. Their sample mean weight loss was 2.6 kilograms with a standard deviation of 5.90 kilograms. Can you conclude that the mean weight loss differs between the two diets? Let 4, denote the mean weight lost on the low-carb diet and u, denote the mean weight lost on the low-fat diet.

- A report states that the mean yearly salary offer for students graduating with a degree in accounting is $48,722. Suppose that a random sample of 50 accounting graduates at a large university who received job offers resulted in a mean offer of $49,870 and a standard deviation of $3900. Do the sample data provide strong support for the claim that the mean salary offer for accounting graduates of this university is higher than the national average of $48,722?
