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 = [26.1, 26.5, 26.5, 25.8, 26.7, 26.2]
Liquid = [16.6, 16.5, 17.1, 17.5, 16.6 17.3]
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? (assume the population data is normally distributed)
