A research report produced by The American Egg Council proclaimed that a study of 14 men and 12 women "proved that eating two eggs per day had no effect on cholesterol level."

This was the result of a survey sent to the 26 individuals regarding their current cholesterol level and their memory of egg consumption.

Suppose that, instead, you had done an experiment where you have a cholesterol level collected from 15 men and 15 women prior to eating a specified number of eggs for a month and this is followed by another cholesterol test. Suppose another randomly equivalent group just had the cholesterol test when the first group had theirs and another test when the first group had their second test. Assume that this group was instructed not to eat any eggs.

Indicate how the American Egg Council designed their study and how this second study was designed using some formal notation. How do these designs compare? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Discuss this comparison of research designs.

From a classical hypothesis testing standpoint, what logical problems exist with the Americana Egg Council report's proclamation? Explain thoroughly.

From a statistical standpoint, what problems exist with this report's proclamation? Explain in detail.
