A hypertension trial is mounted and 12 participants are randomly assigned to receive either a new treatment or a placebo. Each participant takes the assigned medication and their systolic blood pressure (SBP) is recorded after 6 months on the assigned treatment. The data are as follows.
Placebo | New Treatment |
134 | 114 |
143 | 117 |
148 | 121 |
142 | 124 |
150 | 122 |
160 | 128 |
Is there a difference in mean SBP between treatments? Run the test at a 5% level of significance.1) Write out the appropriate null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis; 2) Calculate the test statistic (show your work); 3) Give your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.
