- Please explain how to solve the below question using excel. 1. The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was compared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound healing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Use the data in Problem 1. Pool the data across the treatments into one sample of size n = 250. Use the pooled data to test whether the distribution of the percent wound healing is approximately normal. Specifically, use the following distribution 30%, 40%, 20%, and 10% and a = 0.05 to run the appropriate test.
