A proposed new diet for beef cattle is less expensive than the standard diet. The proponents of the new diet have conducted a comparative study in which one group of cattle was fed the new diet and another group was led the standard. They found that the mean weight gains in the two groups were not statistically significantly different at the 5% significance level, and they stated that this finding supported the claim that the new cheaper diet was as good (for weight gain) as the standard diet. Criticize this statement.
