In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for
lowering cholesterol,
36
subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were
measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before
minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in
mg/dL) have a mean of
0.4
and a standard deviation of
1.77.
Use a
0.05
significance level to test the claim that with
garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is
greater than
0.
What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the
garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been
selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses,
test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that
addresses the original claim.
