Weight Loss in Men

Many polls have asked people whether they are trying to lose weight. A Gallup Poll in November of 2008 showed that 22% of men said they were seriously trying to lose weight.

In 2006, 24% of men (with the same average weight of 194 pounds as the men polled in 2008) said they were seriously trying to lose weight.

Assume that both samples contained 500 men.
