A sample of 9 volunteers was obtained and each participant ate a fixed diet without any oatmeal for 30 days. At the end for the 30 day period, cholesterol was measured for each individual. Then the participants began a second diet except that they added 2 cups of oatmeal each day. After the second 30 day period, cholesterol levels were measured again and the researcher recorded the difference between the tow scores for each participants. For this sample, cholesterol scores averaged M0 =16 points longer with the oatmeal diet with SS = 538 for the different scores. a.
