Consider an experiment in which adult laboratory mice were fed one of three diets: high fat, low fat, and a control diet. The mice were weighed, received these diets for 2 weeks, and then were weighed again. The table below shows the results of the experiment.
Diet Gained weight Lost weight
High Fat 79 21
Low Fat 30 69
Control 70 30
