Question

A dietician wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will change if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Six randomly selected subjects were pretested, and then they took the mineral supplement of a 6 week period. The results are shown in the table below. Can it be concluded that the cholesterol level has changed at a significance level of 0.10? Use the P-value method with your calculator. Assume the variable is approximately normally distributed. You can use your calculator to answer this question but make sure that you clearly write the statements for the null and alternative hypothesis. Be sure that you thoroughly explain your final conclusion using the P-value method. Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 Before 210 235 208 190 172 244 After 190 170 210 188 173 228

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
