Methods of statistics show that if a vegetarian diet had no effect on blood pressure, there would be less than 1 chance in 100 of getting these results. Does the result have statistical significance? Why or why not? Does the result have practical significance?

Answer: hi your question is incomplete below is the complete question

answer:

The result has a statistical significance because from the results obtained from the sample of people whom followed vegetarian diet and the people whom followed non-vegetarian diet we can see the different effects on blood pressure.

The result has a practical significance because the large difference in mean values.

Explanation:

Sample size = 85 followed a vegetarian diet

Period = 4 months,

Mean systolic blood pressure= 124 mmHg

Sample size = 75 followed non-vegetarian diet

Period = 4 months

Mean systolic Bp = 138 mmHg

Reasons/explanations

Given that p -value < 0.01 we will reject the null hypothesis

The result has a statistical significance because from the results obtained from the sample of people whom followed vegetarian diet and the people whom followed non-vegetarian diet we can see the different effects on blood pressure.

The result has a practical significance because the large difference in mean values.
