Popular Diets. In the article "Comparison of the Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers, and Zone Diets for Weight Loss and Heart Disease Risk Reduction" (Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. , No. 1, Pp, ), M. Dansinger et al. conducted a randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of four popular diets for weight loss. Overweight adults with an average body mass index ofand agesyears participated in the randomized trial for 1 year. The weight losses, in kilograms, based on the results of the experiment are given on the WeissStats site. Negative losses are gains. Weight Watchers.
a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviation of the samples.
b. Perform a residual analysis.
c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a one-way ANOVA test on the data is reasonable. If so. also do parts (d) and (e).
d. Use a one-way ANOVA test to decide, at the significance level, Whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists among the means of the populations fewer than the samples were taken.
e. Interpret your results from part (d)

Rock Sparrows breeding in northern Italy are the subject of a long-term ecology and conservation study due to their wide variety of breeding patterns. Both males and females have a yellow patch on their breasts that is thought to play a significant role in their sexual behavior. A Pilastro et al. conducted an experiment in which they increased or reduced the size of a female's breast patch by dying feathers at the edge of a patch and then observed several characteristics of the behavior the male. Their results were published in the paper "Male Rock Sparrow Adjust Their Breeding Strategy According to Female Ornamentation: Parental or Mating Investment? Eight mating pairs were observed in each of three groups: a reduced patch size group, a group control and an enlarged patch size group. The data on the WeissStats site, based on the results reported by the researchers, give the number of minutes per hour that makes sang in the vicinity of the nest after the patch size manipulation was done on the females.
