A nutritionist wants to determine if exercise combined with a
low carbohydrate diet is more effective than a low carbohydrate
diet alone in helping women return to their normal body weight
after giving birth. The nutritionist randomly selects
75 postpartum women and measures their weight. She then
randomly assigns 25 women to follow a low carbohydrate diet only,

women will be measured again.
