Question
A doctor is concerned that a drug treatment causes people to run a fever. She recruited n = 50 participants and gave them the drug treatment. She then measured their body temperature 12 hours later. She wants to compare the average temperature of her sample to the population average body temperature of 98.6oF to see if the participants temperature is significantly different. Which of the following statistical tests should she use?
