III. To study diverticular disease, dietary fiber consumption was monitored for 20 vegetarians, 6 of whom had the disease. For the six with the disease, the average fiber consumption was 26.8 grams with a standard deviation of 9.2 grams. The 14 disease-free had an average fiber consumption of 42.5 grams with a standard deviation of 9.5 grams. Assume both populations are normal with equal variances. 1. Test the hypothesis that daily fiber consumption is the same for both populations. Use the 5% level of significance. 2. Compute the p-value for the test. 3. Specifically, what are the two populations being compared in this test?
