3. Calculate the p-value (3dp) for a t-test on the chol.csv data with the correct null hypothesis from the lab test exercise.
4.Using Fishers F-test determine whether you can accept or reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the variances of the day_2 and day_4 samples.

3. H0: There is no significance difference between the means of day_2 and day_4
H1: There is significance difference between the means of day_2 and day_4
Let the los be alpha = 5%
From the given data


Critical t: ±2.004877
P-Value: 0.0712
Degrees of freedom: 54.0000
Here t value is lies between t critical value and p-value > alpha 0.05 so we accept H0
Thus we conclude that There is no significance difference between the means of day_2 and day_4
4. H0: There is no significance difference between the variance of day_2 and day_4
H1: There is significance difference between the variance of day_2 and day_4
Let the los be alpha = 5%

Test Statistic, F: 1.0319
Lower Critical F: 0.4627611
Upper Critical F: 2.160946
P-Value: 0.9356
Here F value is lies between F critical values and P-value is > alpha 0.05 so we accept H0
Thus we conclude that there is no significance difference between the variance of day_2 and day_4
