An antifungal medication was applied to the skin of eight adult subjects. One hour later, the amount of active ingredient that had been absorbed into the skin was measured for each subject. The results, in micrograms, were 2.13 1.88 2.07 1.19 2.51 5.61 2.81 3.05 Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether mean amount absorbed is less than 3 micrograms. Use α=0.05 level of significance.

Construct a 90% confidence interval for the data.

Researchers want to know whether there is significant evidence of a different mean adaptation time (in steps) for the two disturbances. Here are the summary data for these 10 subjects: N Mean StDev Disturbance A...
