There is a concern among women smokers that their BMI (assumed to be Normally distributed) will increase if they stop smoking. A random sample was taken of 21 women who were about to stop smoking. Their baseline BMI was recorded and their 6-year post-smoking cessation BMI was recorded. We want to know if they experienced a significant increase in BMI. What is the hypothesis? Please explain, thank you!
