Question 1182439: A seller of less salt diet claims that by consuming his food he can
lose an average of 5.2 kg or more after consumption for the first 2 months.
To check this claim, a nutritionist examined 46 consumers of less salt diets and
found that they experienced an average weight loss of 4.9 kg after consuming 2
the first month with a sample standard deviation of 0.5 kg. calculate the p value of this test!
Based on the p-value obtained, is the null hypothesis acceptable for = 0.01? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a one-way t-test
critical value for t is t <-2.413
t=(x bar-mean)/s/sqrt(n)
=(4.9-5.2)/0.5/sqrt(46)
=-0.3*sqrt(46)/0.5
=-4.07
reject Ho. p-value <0.005. It is 0.0002
since the p-value is < the critical value, this means reject Ho.
