In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering​ cholesterol, 8181 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol leve

ls were measured before and after the treatment. The changes​ (before minus​ after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol​ (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.40.4 and a standard deviation of 16.216.2. Use a 0.010.01 significance level to test the claim that with garlic​ treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 00. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic​ treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative​ hypotheses, test​ statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. What are the null and alternative​ hypotheses?

Answer:

With garlic​ treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is not greater than 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent <em>t</em>-test (also known as the paired <em>t</em>-test or paired samples <em>t</em>-test) compares the two means associated groups to conclude if there is a statistically significant difference amid these two means.

In this case a paired <em>t</em>-test is used to determine the effectiveness of garlic for lowering​ cholesterol.

A random sample of 81 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment.

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as follows:

<em>H₀</em>: With garlic​ treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is not greater than 0, i.e. <em>d</em> ≤ 0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: With garlic​ treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0, i.e. <em>d</em> > 0.

The information provided is:

\bar d=0.40\\SD_{d}=16.2\\\alpha =0.01

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

t=\frac{\bar d}{SD_{d}/\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\frac{0.40}{16.2/\sqrt{81}}\\\\=0.22

The test statistic value is 0.22.

Decision rule:

If the <em>p</em>-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

Compute the <em>p</em>-value of the test as follows:

p-value=P(t_{n-1}>0.22)\\=P(t_{80}>0.22)\\=0.4132

*Use a <em>t</em>-table.

The <em>p</em>-value of the test is 0.4132.

<em>p-</em>value= 0.4132 > <em>α</em> = 0.01

The null hypothesis was failed to be rejected.

Thus, it can be concluded that with garlic​ treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is not greater than 0.

A number cube labeled 1 to 6 is rolled 450 times. Which is the best prediction for the number of times that the number cube will
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Haha, I don't think those answers belong to the question asked :P

The probability of rolling less than 3 is 2/6=1/3

So if you rolled 450 times you should expect to roll less than 3:

450(1/3)=150 times.

Purchased a book rs 500 sold 20%profit find its actual profit and sel<br>ling price​
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Selling price=rs.600.

Profit of rs=100.

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P=500; profit%=20%

S.P.=100+profit%×C.P/100

S.P=120×500/100

=rs.600

S.P>C.P

Profit S.P-C.P

600-500=100

he gained for rs.100.
