Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean daily protein intake of 51 female vegetarians and 53 female omnivores differ at the 1% significance level , s1 = 18.82122, s2 = 18.96844, x1 = 39.0392, x2 = 49.9245
Solution
Set Up Hypothesis
Null Hypothesis , There Is No-Significance between them Ho: u1 = u2
Alternate, mean daily protein intake is differ in both - H1: u1 != u2
Test Statistic
X(Mean)=39.0392
Standard Deviation(s.d1)=18.82122 ; Number(n1)=51
Y(Mean)=49.9245
Standard Deviation(s.d2)=18.96844; Number(n2)=53
we use Test Statistic (t) = (X-Y)/Sqrt(s.d1^2/n1)+(s.d2^2/n2)
to =39.0392-49.9245/Sqrt((354.23832/51)+(359.80172/53))
to =-2.94
| to | =2.94
Critical Value
The Value of |t | with Min (n1-1, n2-1) i.e 50 d.f is 2.678
We got |to| = 2.9372 & | t | = 2.678
Make Decision
Hence Value of | to | > | t | and Here we Reject Ho
P-Value: Two Tailed ( double the one tail ) - Ha : ( P != -2.9372 ) = 0.005
Hence Value of P0.01 > 0.005,Here we Reject Ho
We have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean daily protein intake differ at
the 1% significance level
