Given the following information, which of these hypotheses would be supported? In our analysis, we compared the effects of hand lotion on hand bacterial diversity. We split our subjects into two groups. For both groups we collected a bacterial swab from their hands. The experimental group applied the hand lotion, while the control group did not. After the experimental group applied the lotion and it was dry, we collected a second bacterial swab from all subjects. Below is the data analysis. mean change in bacterial diversity control group (no hand lotion) 0.5 experimental group (hand lotion) -1.3 The control group that did not receive hand lotion had an average increase in bacterial diversity of 0.5 species, whereas the experimental group had an average decrease of -1.3 species. The p-value of this analysis is 0.07. This leads us to conclude: _________.
