Compute the relative risk of meeting their goals

Reference no: EM131396916

In a study of weight loss, two educational methods were tested to see if they resulted in the same weight loss among the subjects. One method was called the standard method since it involved lectures on both eating and exercise. In addition to lectures, the experimental method included daily reporting of dietary intake by e-mail followed by return comments the same day. After a 1-month period, subjects were rated as to whether they met their goals for weight loss.

Goal	Treatment
Goal	Experiment	Standard	Total
Met	28	13	41
Not met	24	37	61
Total	52	50	102

(a) Test whether the same proportion of the two treatment groups met their goals for weight reduction.

(b) Compute the relative risk of meeting their goals for the experimental and the control groups.
