10. A small pilot study is conducted to investigate the effect of a nutritional supplement on total body weight. Six participants agree to take the nutritional supplement. To assess its effect on body weight, weights are measured before starting the supplementation and then after 6 weeks. The data are shown below. Is there a significant increase in body weight following supplementation? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Demonstrate the five steps for hypothesis testing and explain your results.

A survey was conducted two years ago asking college students their top motivations for using a credit card. You think the distribution has changed. You randomly select 425 college students and ask each one what the top motivation is for using a credit card. Can you conclude that there has been a change in the distribution? Use a=0.10. 1. Determine the critical value, and the rejection region. 2. Calculate the test statistic.
