Answer 1

The new weight-loss supplement was less effective on females in the study. That is because only 65% of them lost weight after two weeks, whereas 74% of the males lost weight after two weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

37 out of 50 males lost weight after two weeks, so 74% of males lost weight ( (37 · 2)/(50 · 2) ). 13 out of 20 females lost weight after two weeks, so 65% of females lost weight ( (13 · 5)/(20 · 5) ). This means the supplement was less effective on females because males had a higher percentage of losing weight.
