Directions: Answer the following questions and solving the following problems for the following context.

After medically-supervised obese adults leave a six-month in-patient treatment program of diet and exercise to foster healthy weight loss, these patients are monitored as they transition back into their own homes.  Clinical dieticians are curious if there is significant additional weight loss during the next month of home care.  A random sample of 16 adults includes the following data, in pounds, which measures their weights immediately upon leaving the in-patient program (pre-test) and again after one month of home maintenance of the weight loss program (post-test).

**Question 14**  
According to the spreadsheet output, what is the value of the appropriate test statistic, *rounded to three digits*?  
[Text box for answer]

**Question 15**  
According to the spreadsheet output, what is the appropriate critical value for the research hypothesis and type of testing: one tail or two, *rounded to three digits*?  
[Text box for answer]

**Question 16**  
In order to affirm the value of the appropriate critical value under the corresponding tail of the probability distribution, which of the following spreadsheet functions might be utilized?  
- ○ =NORM.S.INV(100%-5%)  
- ○ =NORM.S.INV(5%)  
- ○ =T.INV(5%)  
- ○ =T.INV(5%,16)  
- ○ =T.INV(5%,15)  
- ○ =T.INV(5%,TRUE)  

**Question 17**  
How does the test statistic compare against the critical value under the corresponding tail of the probability distribution?  
- ○ The test statistic is less than or does not exceed the critical value.  
- ○ The test statistic is greater than or exceeds the critical value.  
- ○ The test statistic is equal to the critical value.  
- ○ It cannot be determined at this time if the test statistic is less than, greater than or equal to the critical value.

**Question 18**  
According to the spreadsheet output, what is the p-value, *expressed as a percentage rounded to two decimal places without insignificant digits*?
