Fitness experts advise people who want to lose weight to drink protein shakes after workout sessions, because it helps build muscle mass and speeds up the weight-loss process. To test the effectiveness of protein shakes in losing weight, 200 adults between the ages of 25 and 40 years were divided equally into two groups: a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was asked to drink a protein shake after every workout session for a period of 6 months. The subjects’ weights were noted before and after the treatment.
The results showed that the mean change in the amount of weight lost by the treatment group is 8 points more than that of the control group. To test whether the results could be explained by random chance, researchers created a table that summarizes the results of 1,000 re-randomizations of the data with differences of means rounded to the nearest 2 points.
Consider the significance level to be set at 5%, so results less than 5% can be considered statistically significant.

Prove (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1 and (b) 1 − tanh 2(x) = sech 2(x). solution (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = ex + e−x 2 2 − 2 = e2x + 2 + e−2x 4 − = 4 = . (b) we start with the identity proved in part (a): cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1. if we divide both sides by cosh2(x), we get 1 − sinh2(x) cosh2(x) = 1 or 1 − tanh 2(x) = .
