ANSWER:Solution 5 CRE Step 1 : Given is weights and heights of the subjects before and after diet. The claim is that the diet is effective or not. Hypothesis H : There is no significance difference between the weight before and after the diet. 0 H : There is significance difference between the weight before and after the diet. 1 Following are the steps to analyze result from Stat Disk . Enter the dataset in stat disk Analisis correlation and regression . Choose level of significance evaluate The value of correlation r = 0.9647 The critical value is ± 0.7067, the correlation coefficient is not within the critical value and it is beyond the right tail region, so we can say that the variables are linearly correlated. The P-Value 0.000 is less than the level of significance 0.05. We have an evidence to support the claim that the weights of the subjects before diet and after diet are linearly correlated.
