Question

One fitness director claims that by taking a special vitamin, a weightlifter can increase his strength. Seven athletes are selected and evaluated to determine their strength. After 3 weeks of regular training and supplemented with the vitamin, they are reassessed. Test the efficacy of the vitamin regimen with α = 0.10. Each value in these data represents the maximum number of pounds the athlete can lift. Assume that the variable has an approximately normal distribution.

Athlete 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Before (X subscript 1) 205 231 187 215 260 250 220

After (X subscript 2) 215 242 174 211 266 246 223

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
