Question: 1. Compute the mean change in cholesterol. 2. Compute the standard deviation of the change in cholesterol level 3. Compute the median change in cholesterol 4. Construct histogram showing the distribution for the cholesterol c Range = 62 No. Class 6 CI 10.5 11 CI F (-22 t0-12) (-11 to -1) 0 to 10 11 to 21 22 to 32 33 to 43 44 to 55

5. Comment on the symmetry of the distribution of change scores ba answers to 1 and 4

6. Some investigators feel that the effects of diet on cholesterol are m people with high rather than low cholesterol levels. If you split the d according to whether the baseline cholesterol is above or below the m you comment on this issue?

I agree that effects of diet on cholesterol is more evident in peopl those before and af
