Researchers want to determine if the average weight of sophomore male students increases from September to March. The following are weights in kilograms for 77 randomly selected students.September: 75,80,68,72,77,69,7475, 80, 68, 72, 77, 69, 74March: 76,81,69,74,78,70,7676, 81, 69, 74, 78, 70, 76At the 0.010.01 significance level, test the claim that the mean weight in September is less than the mean weight in March for sophomore male students.

Problem 88Multiple Choice

Researchers want to determine if the average weight of sophomore male students increases from September to March. The following are weights in kilograms for $7$ randomly selected students.
September: $75 comma 80 comma 68 comma 72 comma 77 comma 69 comma 74$
March: $76 comma 81 comma 69 comma 74 comma 78 comma 70 comma 76$
At the $0.01$ significance level, test the claim that the mean weight in September is less than the mean weight in March for sophomore male students.

Reject $H sub 0$ ; there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average weight increased from September to March.

Fail to reject $H sub 0$ ; there is not enough evidence to conclude that the average weight changed.

Reject $H sub 0$ ; there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average weight decreased from September to March.

Fail to reject $H sub 0$ ; there is not enough evidence to conclude that the average weight increased.
