A dietician is researching two new weight gain supplements that have just hit the market: Ripped and Gainz. She wants to determine if there is any difference between the two supplements in the mean amount of weight gained (in kg) by the people who take them. The dietician tracks the total weight gain (in kg) over a year of a random sample of 14 people taking Ripped and a random sample of 12 people taking Gainz. (These samples are chosen independently.) These data are shown in the table. Total weight gains (in kg) Ripped Gainz 14.1, 10.9, 12.1, 5.2, 12.0, 17.1, 9.0, 14.8, 11.2, 6.8, 12.4, 8.5, 12.1, 10.5 Send data to calc... v 7.6, 9.5, 8.6, 10.8, 7.9, 10.0, 8.4, 6.2, 8.6, 10.2, 8.9, 8.2 Send data to Excel Assume that the two populations of weight gains are approximately normally distributed.
