7-. Obesity, the condition of being very over weight, increases a persons risk for various health
problems. One surgical procedure used to deal with obesity is called bariatric surgery and
attempts to decrease theamount of food that a person can eat. In a study of obese Saudis
operated on by bariatric surgery [Mofti and Al-Saleh (1992)], the weights of 31 obese Saudis
were measured before and two years after surgery:

8- In an experiment comparing 2 feeding methods for caves, eight pairs of twins were used –
one twin receiving Method A and other twin receiving Method B. At the end of a given time, the
calves were slaughtered and cooked, and the meat was rated for its taste ( with a higher number
indicating a better taste):

Assuming approximate normality, test if the average taste score for calves fed by Method B is
