Question

Suppose a researcher is interested in the effect of a new treatment drug at increasing CD4 count in patients with HIV. In this study, each patient treated with the study drug is frequency paired with another patient on a number of characteristics treated with a placebo to insure independence among samples. Assume the following sample of participants enrolled in the study represents an appropriate approximation to the normal distribution.

A 347

A’ 326

B 346

B’ 321

C 338

C’ 314

D 334

D’ 316

E 342

E’ 30

B) Carry out a paired-sample t test to investigate the effectiveness at increasing CD4 count in immunocompromised patients. Write out the null and alternative hypotheses using an α=0.05, and correctly interpret your results.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
