A researcher investigated whether following a vegetarian diet could help to reduce blood pressure. For a sample of 85 people who followed a vegetarian diet for 4 months, the mean systolic blood pressure was 124 mmHg. For a sample of 75 people who followed a non-vegetarian diet for 4 months, the mean systolic blood pressure was 138 mmHg. Methods of statistics show that if a vegetarian diet had no effect on blood pressure, there would be less than 1 chance in 100 of getting these results. Does the result have statistical significance? Why or why not? Does the result have practical significance?

The null and alternate hypotheses are: h0: μ1 ≤ μ2 h1: μ1 > μ2 a random sample of 22 items from the first population showed a mean of 113 and a standard deviation of 12. a sample of 16 items for the second population showed a mean of 99 and a standard deviation of 6. use the 0.01 significant level. find the degrees of freedom for unequal variance test. (round down your answer to the nearest whole number.) state the decision rule for 0.010 significance level. (round your answer to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic. (round your answer to 3 decimal places.) what is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? use the 0.01 significance level.
