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.
