The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.05 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 45 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.73 pounds after one week.
