Then, test the hypothesis for the claim based on the case study using the P-value method. Use Excel to analyze the case study We examine data from a trial of black tea consumption in 28 adults (Table). As a preliminary step, we might be interested in testing whether the population from which these individuals derive tends to have baseline levels of HDL-C that differ from the overall US population as a test of their generalizability. The distribution of HDL-C in the US adult population is well characterized and has a mean of 50.7 mg/dL.10 Therefore, we would want to determine whether the data from our 28-person sample support a conclusion that the population from which these older adults came has HDL-C levels that differ from 50.7 mg/dL.\

From the table (p-value=0.92712052) < =0.05(1.703), reject H0 and accept H1. Therefore the slope regression line is not zero at =0.05 significant level.

There is sufficient evidence to claim that the data from our 28-person sample support a conclusion that the population from which these older adults came has HDL-C levels is differ from 50.7 mg/dL.
