According to the Journal of Family Medicine Practice, highsodium intake may be related to ulcers, stomach cancer, andmigraine headaches. The human requirement for salt is only 200milligrams per day, which is surpassed in most single servings ofready-to-eat cereals.
Self Magazine performed a study regarding one of themost common ready-to-eat cereals: Special K. The main rational toperform the study is the effect in the health of many people thatare carrying out the Special K Diet: 2 cups of cereal (breakfastand dinner) and 1 small meal (lunch).
A random sample of 20 similar servings of Special K Cereal has amean sodium content of 193 milligrams of sodium and a standarddeviation of 10.5 milligrams.
Does this suggest at the 0.05 level of significance that theaverage sodium content for single servings of Special K Cereal isless than 200 milligrams?
