Hypothesis test. Using the p-value method,conduct a formal hypothesis test of the claim that the mean RBG of Type 2 diabetics is 13.5 mmol/dl or higher. Use = 0.01. Include the following in your written summary of the results:
Your null and alternate hypotheses in the proper format using standard notation.
The type of distribution you used ( or normal).
The p-value and its logical relationship to (≤ or >).
Your decision regarding the null hypothesis: reject or fail to reject.
A statement interpreting your decision: reject/fail to reject (or support/fail to support) the original claim that the mean RBG of Type 2 diabetics is 13.5 mmol/dl or higher.

(5) Conclusion
It is concluded that the null hypothesis Ho is not rejected. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to claim that the mean RBG of Type 2 diabetics is 13.5 mmol/dl or higher, at the 0.01 significance level.
