Based on the sample variance value, comment on consistency

Q3.A health spa has advertised a weight-reducing program and has claimed that average participant in
the program loses the weight. The overweight person is interested in the program but skeptical about
the claims and asked for some hard evidences. The Analyst at this company has taken the observation in
pounds and performed the statistical analysis as given below using excel data analysis tool pack. What
interpretation you will draw from this results. Formulate Null and Alternate Hypothesis. Whether you
will reject the null or alternative hypothesis? (Given that critical value of t @ 9 degree of
freedom=2.306)

t-statistics > Critical value of t statistics, reject the null)

Q4. The Malhotra Spices company pvt ltd company introduced plastic and glass bottle packaging in
addition to the existing tetra pack packaging in the market. Mr. Malhotra is thinking that switching over
to a new packaging would involve a huge investment and if the results were not different for other types
