In a randomized experiment from the University of Wisconsin, one group consisted of a representative sample of 53 obese children ages 9 to 12 who had been randomly assigned to weekly family counseling sessions on the stoplight diet (green/yellow/red approach to eating food). After 15 weeks of intervention, the children's weight change was recorded (in pounds, a negativ value representing a weight loss). The findings for these 53 children are listed under the "Intervention" column Crunchlt http://crunchit3.bfwpub.com/psls4e if you select menu / File /

In a randomized experiment from the University of Wisconsin, one group
consisted of a representative sample of 53 obese children ages 9 to 12 who
had been randomly assigned to weekly family counseling sessions on the
stoplight diet (green/yellow/red approach to eating food). After 15 weeks of
intervention, the children's weight change was recorded (in pounds, a negative
value representing a weight loss).
The findings for these 53 children are listed under the "Intervention" column in
Crunchlt http://crunchit3.bfwpub.com/psls4e if you select menu / File /
Load from PSLS4e / Chapter 18 / Table 03.
Do the findings provide evidence that the intervention is effective in helping
obese children lose weight, on average?
1. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses using math symbols.
The alternative hypothesis here is one-sided in the lesser than di ✓
2. Plot and summarize the data (not required here)
3. Use Crunchlt to run this test. The test P-value you find falls between
O and 0.0001
4. The conditions for this inference procedure are clearly all met
5. Write your conclusion as a sentence in context (not required here)
