Question
Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (i.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of
distribution is M = 7.4.+ A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pr
random sample of 36 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.4 with sample standard
deviation s = 2.9. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of
blood.
