e
whether oat bran cereal h

lps to lower
serum cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic males
.

.
The data from thi

given the following table.
| N | Mean | Std | ||
| Com | 23 | \[{{\bar{X}}_{com}}\] = 4 . 4 | \[{{s}_{com}}\] = 0.624281 | spoo l ed = 0.683313 |
| Oat | 23 | \[{{\bar{X}}_{Oat}}\] = 3.86 | \[{{s}_{Oat}}\] = 0.742345 | |
