An experimental drug is being tested to see if it reduces blood sugar in patients suffering from diabetes. Each of seven patients will receive both the placebo and the experimental drugs (treatments given a month apart) for a two week period. The maximum blood sugar (measured every day) on the second week of treatment is recorded. The data obtained from such a study is shown below:

patient placebo exp.drug difference
1 125 127 -2
2 130 100 30
3 133 110 23
4 122 87 23
5 150 102 48
6 156 140 16
7 145 146 -1
mean 137.3 116 21.3
SD 13.1 22.1 18.5

Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the new experimental treatment is beneficial for treating diabetes.

A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 2 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Is there enough evidence to support the company's claim? Let d = (blood pressure before taking new drug) − (blood pressure after taking new drug). Use a significance level of α = 0.05 for the test. Assume that the...

A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 2 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Using this data, find the 99% confidence interval for the true difference in blood pressure for each patient after taking the new drug. Assume that the blood pressures are normally distributed for the population of patients both before and...
