A medical researcher is studying the effects of a drug on blood pressure. Subjects in the study have their blood pressure taken at the beginning of the study. After being on the medication for 4 weeks, their blood pressure is taken again. The change in blood pressure is recorded and used in doing the hypothesis test.
Change: Final Blood Pressure - Initial Blood Pressure
The researcher wants to know if there is evidence that the drug affects blood pressure. At the end of 4 weeks, 36 subjects in the study had an average change in blood pressure of 2.4 with a standard deviation of 4.5.
Find the p-value for the hypothesis test.
Your answer should be rounded to 4 decimal places.
