A researcher is testing the effect of a new flu vaccine on absenteeism from work. A sample of n = 9 employees are randomly selected from the
normally distributed population and given the vaccine; then, the researcher measures how many times they were absent in the subsequent year.
If the mean number of absences in the entire organization (i.e., in the population) are 4 per year, can the researcher conclude that the vaccine
had an impact on absenteeism, and if so, how large was the effect? Use an a of .05. Be sure to show all 5 steps.
Absences: 2 3 2 1 5 4 2 1 2
