Pair 12345678 Program 73.7 68.5 72.9 79.1 71.0 76.5 70.1 70.9 No Program 72.0 70.7 75.1 83.1 73.1 82.9 69.9 75.7

(a) Test at a = .05 if men on an exercise program weigh significantly less than men who are not on such a program.

(b) Estimate the mean difference in weight between fit and unfit individuals using a 95% confidence interval.
