Question
I need the answer to "P-value"
A food manufacturer claims that eating its new cereal as part of a daily diet lowers total blood cholesterol levels. The table shows the total blood cholesterol levels (in milligrams per deciliter of blood) of seven patients before eating the cereal and after one year of eating the cereal as part of their diets. Use technology to test the mean difference. Assume the populations are normally distributed. At alpha = 0.05, can you conclude that the new cereal lowers total blood cholesterol levels? Calculate the test statistic. t= 2.049 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Calculate the P-value P-value = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Explanation / Answer
The difference data (take differences A-B) 6,5,-5,5,5,1,3 Sample mean = 2.857 Sample standard dev = 3.848 test stat= mean/sd/sqrt(n) = 1.964 p value = P(t
