Compute inferential statistics using a provided sample data set.

HS312-3: Compute inferential statistics using a provided sample data set.

Instructions

In Course Documents, locate the data file (dietstudy.xlsx). The data in this file represent the before and after weights of thirty people who participated in a study. The study objective was to determine how well a specific diet worked in helping people lose weight. The “Weight before” is the baseline weight of each person before starting the diet. The “Weight after” is the weight of each person after completing the diet. Use PSPP to conduct the analysis and produce the output for a paired-samples t test. To use an Excel file in PSPP, you must save it as a comma delimited file (.csv).
Please copy and paste or take a screenshot of your data output and insert the image into a Word file; alternatively, you may submit a PDF file of your output.
