Question

Statistical Literacy and Critical Thinking 1. Vitamin C and Aspirin A bottle contains a label stating that it contains Spring Valley pills with 500 mg of vitamin C, and another bottle contains a label stating that it contains Bayer pills with 325 mg of aspirin. When testing claims about the mean contents of the pills, which would have more serious implications: rejection of the Spring Valley vitamin C claim or rejection of the Bayer aspirin claim? Is it wise to use the same significance level for hypothesis tests about the mean amount of vitamin C and the mean amount of aspirin?

Explanation / Answer

I think aspirin model will have more serious consequences. Vitamin C is not harmful to body as such but if aspirin is consumed in large quantities then it might have side effects.

No, same significance level should not be used. Aspirin process should be more strict in that terms.

Thus, different levels for both should be used.
