Suppose a linear model y=β0+β1xy=β0+β1x is fit to a sample data set, and a test of the null hypothesis H0:β1=0H0:β1=0 against an alternative hypothesis HA:β1≠0HA:β1≠0 is performed; a PP-value of 0.4203 is obtained.
Which of the following scatter plots depicts the data set on which this model was fit and the hypothesis test was performed?

- A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will be changed if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Four subjects were pre-tested, and they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The results are shown in the table. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean of cholesterol levels has been changed after six weeks at α=0.2α=0.2?
