Captoril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were treated with this drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Use a sign test and a 0.01 significance level to test if there is a sufficient evidence to support the claim that captoril has an effect on systolic blood pressure.

Captoril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were treated with this drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Use a sign test and a 0.01 significance level to test if there is a sufficient evidence to support the claim that captoril has an effect on systolic blood pressure.

Subject A B C D E F G H I J K L
Before 200 174 198 170 179 182 193 209 185 155 169 210
After 191 170 177 167 159 151 176 183 159 145 146 177

1. what is the tabular value? (Type as a whole number.)

2. what is the conclusion of the study?

There is no effect hence the median of the differences is equal to 0.
There is an effect hence the median of the differences is greater than 0.
There is an effect hence the median of the differences is not equal to 0.
There is an effect hence the median of the differences is less than 0.
