For phase three of this experiment, the researcher was interested if the type of meal plan in conjunction with the pedometer-based walking program makes a difference in the amount of total weight loss. The researcher selected 30 participants and randomly assigned them to 3 different meal plans. Meal plan I was a 1500-calorie balanced diet, meal plan 2 was a carb less diet, and meal plan 3 was no change in the participant's normal eating patterns (participants just kept eating what they have been-no change; control group). Is there a difference in the total weight loss for these 3 meal plans? What conclusions can you draw? Total weight loss after 16-weeks Meal plan 1: 1500 Meal plan 2: carb less Meal plan 3: Control calorie diet diet group, no change -9 -6 -2 -2 -1 For phase 4, the researchers are interested if there is a relationship between the weight loss and age. Is there a significant relationship between these two variables?
