The results are shownin the table below. State the null and alternative hypothesis for ahopothesis test conducted at the 10% significance level in order todetermine whether the cholesterol level has been changed.

Explanation / Answer


  The two-tailed Pvalue equals 0.1549, not statistically significant.


  The mean of Group One minus GroupTwo equals 17.50
  95% confidence interval of this difference: From -9.37to 44.37   If you really want 90% CI, the range is narrower,(ie less negative than 9.37, less positive than 44.37)

Intermediate values used in calculations:
  t = 1.6743
  df = 5
  standard error of difference = 10.452





  Group   Before   Aft Mean 210.67 193.17 SD 27.02 22.26 SEM 11.03 9.09
