Write an example alternative hypothesis for the mean (µ) difference between ultra-processed foods (up) and processed foods (μ). 1b). Next, generate 1,000 samples. Let's say that you asked students in our class to calculate the difference in the amount of sugar between their ultra-processed food and processed food at home, which had a mean (u) sugar difference of 14.75 grams of sugar. Do you have evidence to reject the null hypothesis? 1c). Let's say that your sample difference in the amount of sugar between ultra-processed food and processed food at home was 4.75 grams of sugar.
