📚 Project Summary

A health program was designed for cholesterol patients to monitor the effectiveness of lifestyle changes over time. During the program, various metrics were recorded, including:

• Age
• Weight (before and after the program)
• Cholesterol levels (initial, 3rd month, and after the program)
• Average glucose levels (during the program)

🧪 Statistical Questions (α = 0.05)

This study aims to answer the following questions using appropriate statistical hypothesis tests:

1. Does the health program significantly change cholesterol levels?
2. Is there a significant difference in glucose levels between genders?
3. Does the health program significantly change participants' weight?
4. Is there a significant difference in glucose levels across age groups?
5. Is there a significant difference in the average ages of female and male patients?
6. Does the program significantly change cholesterol levels for women?
7. Does the program significantly change cholesterol levels for men?
8. Does the program significantly change women’s weight?
9. Does the program significantly change men’s weight?
