Solid fats are more likely to raise blood cholesterol levels than liquid fats. Suppose a nutritionist analyzed the percentage of saturated fat for a sample of 6 brands of stick margarine (solid fat) and for a sample of 6 brands of liquid margarine and obtained the following results: Stick:[25.5,26.7,26.5,26.6,26.3,26.4] Liquid:[16.5,17.1,17.5,17.3,17.2,16.7] We want to determine if there a significant difference in the average amount of saturated fat in solid and liquid fats. What is the test statistic? a) z = 39.604 b) t = 25.263 c) t = 39.604 d) z = 39.104 e) t = 39.104

Question
Solid fats are more likely to raise blood cholesterol levels than liquid fats. Suppose a nutritionist analyzed the percentage of saturated fat for a sample of 6 brands of stick margarine (solid fat) and for a sample of 6 brands of liquid margarine and obtained the following results:
Stick:[25.5,26.7,26.5,26.6,26.3,26.4]
Liquid:[16.5,17.1,17.5,17.3,17.2,16.7]
We want to determine if there a significant difference in the average amount of saturated fat in solid and liquid fats. What is the test statistic?
a) z = 39.604
b) t = 25.263
c) t = 39.604
d) z = 39.104
e) t = 39.104
