There is a significant positive correlation between saturated fat consumption and cholesterol levels in patients. The study found a Pearson correlation (r) value of 0.908 and a p-value of 0.001 using a sample of 10 patients' daily fat intake and cholesterol levels. This leads to a rejection of the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between fat consumption and cholesterol, and an acceptance of the alternative hypothesis that a significant relationship exists. Higher saturated fat intake is directly linked to higher cholesterol levels.

SAMPLE PROBLEM WITH ANSWERS FOR HYPOTHESIS
TESTING A. Shown on the table below are the average daily consumption of saturated fat (in grams) and the cholesterol level (in milligrams per hundred milligrams) of a 10 randomly chosen sample of patients at the Holy Name Medical Center. Is there a significant correlation between fat consumption and cholesterol level? Test at 0.05 level of significance. p-value0.001 Fat 65 78 60 44 53 68 87 46 55 73 consumptio n
Cholesterol 190 225 205 175 180 214 245 160 210 215 level Compute the R-value and complete the 9 steps in hypothesis testing using the problem above!
1.Problem Statement:
Does relationship exist between the consumption of saturated fat and the cholesterol level of the patients at Holy Name Medical Center?
2.Hypotheses
Ho: There is no significant relationship between the consumption of saturated fat
and the cholesterol level of the patients at Holy Name Medical Center.
Ha: There is a significant relationship between the consumption of saturated fat and the cholesterol level of the patients at Holy Name Medical Center.
Decision Rule: Reject Ho if p-value < level of significance
Level of significance: 0.05
Findings: p-value (0.001) < a (0.05)
6.Decision
Reject the null hypothesis
7.Interpretation
There is a significant relationship between fat consumption and cholesterol level.
Patients who consume high amount of fat may also have a high cholesterol level.
8.Conclusion
The amount of fat consumed has a direct impact on one's cholesterol level. The more saturated fat a person consumes, the higher his or her cholesterol level will be.
9. Implication
A person's cholesterol level is determined by how much and how little saturated fat he or she consumes. Thus, making them a correlated with each other.
