An observational study based on survey data concluded that individuals who took more
vitamin C were able to recover from the flu faster. You want to replicate this study using an
experimental approach. The treatment in this experiment might be:

Question 21 options:
how long it takes to recover from the flu, in days.

the change in body temperature over the period of the
experiment.

the amount of vitamin C taken per day: 0 mg, 1000 mg, 2000 mg,
or 3000 mg.

whether an individual took vitamin C in a pill form or liquid form.

level.
You can reject Ho at the .05 significance level.

You can accept Ho at the .05 significance
level.
You can say the probability that Ho is true
at p = .025.

Which of the following is a necessary step in every hypothesis testing procedure using a test
statistic?

Question 23 options:
State the null and alternative hypotheses in the context of
the problem.

Compute the test statistic and use it to find the p-value.
