Please no written by hand solution and no img 1) A medical research team is investigating the benefits of a new surgical treatment. The standard recovery time from the existing surgery is a mean of 96 hours. In a random sample of 40 patients undergoing the new treatment, the mean recovery time was 90 hours with a standard deviation of 12 hours. Is there enough evidence at the 1% significance level to show that the recovery from the new surgical treatment is shorter than 96 hours? c) What’s the significance (α) level?           d) What is the test statistic? Round to three decimal places.           e) What is the p-value? Round to three decimal places.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
