Food counseling for obese children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, obesity rates among children have increased dramatically over the past three
decades, from a low of about 5% to 18% as of 2010. A study examined the effect of family-based
food-counseling sessions provided by trained professionals. The study randomly assigned obese
children aged 9 to 12 years to either the counseling intervention or a control group not receiving
any food counseling. The children's weight changes (in pounds, Ib) after 15 weeks are displayed
in Table on the right for both conditions.
a)
Plot each data set in Histogram to investigate the shape of the distributions and explain the
what you see. (Hint: Don't be afraid to look at diffent Bin ranges)
Explanation
b)
Set up the Null and Alternative Hypothesis (95% Confidence)

c)
What are the df (degrees of Freedom)?
d)
What is the p-value (Show you work on how you got it).
e)
Determine the Confidence Interval ay 95%.
f)
Is there good evidence that obese children receiving food counseling gain less weight over a
15-week period?
