Question

Consumers increasingly make food purchases based on nutrition values. A consumer magazine examined the calorie content of two kinds of hot dogs: meat (usually a mixture of pork, turkey, and chicken) and all beef. The researchers purchased samples of several different brands. The meat hot dogs averaged 114.4 calories, compared to 124.5 for the beef hot dogs. A test of the null hypothesis that there's no difference in mean calorie content yields a P-value of 0.006. What would you conclude? Determine the correct conclusion. Assume a significance level of 0.05. | the null hypothesis that there's no difference in mean calorie content since the P-value is a plausible value for 2 where e resents the population mean calo e content for meat hot dogs, and 2 represents the population mean This means that there is evidence of a difference in mean calorie content, so 0 al rie ontent for all be hot dogs.

Explanation / Answer

Conclusion :-

p-value = 0.006 is less than alpha= 0.05

Reject the null hypothesis that there's no difference in mean calorie content since the P-value is less than the significance level. This means that there is a enough evidence of a difference in mean calorie content, so 0 is not a plausible value for u1u2, where u1 represents the population mean calorie content for meat hot dogs, and u2 represents the population mean calorie content for all beef hot dogs.
