Researchers were interested in comparing the long-term psychological effects of dieters on a high-carbohydrate, low-fat (LF) diet with those on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate (LC) diet. A total of 106 overweight and obese participants were randomly assigned to one of these two energy-restricted diets. At 52 weeks a total of 32 LC dieters and 33 LF dieters remained. Mood was assessed using a total mood disturbance score (TMDS), where a lower score is associated with a less negative mood. A summary of these results is given: You are required to conduct a sign test to analyze if there is a difference in the TMDS at week 52. Use a significance level of 0.05. Consider the hypotheses:: versus : . Fill in the blanks. Give the value of Answer 1 to four decimal places and the value of Answer 2 to three decimal places. For the sign test: The value of SED_Answer 1_. The value of _Answer 2_.
