Question:

A hypothesis test that the Zone diet is effective (when used for one year) results in this conclusion: There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean weight change is less than 0 (so there is a loss of weight). The sample of 40 subjects had a mean weight loss of 2.1 lb (based on data from “Comparison of the Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers, and Zone Diets for Weight Loss and Heart Disease Reduction,” by Dansinger, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 293, No. 1). Does the weight loss of 2.1 pounds have statistical significance? Does the weight loss of 2.1 pounds have practical significance? Explain.
