Question

Genetic drugs are lower cost substitutes for brand-name drugs.  Before a genetic drug can be sold in the United States, it must be tested found to perform equivalently to the brand-name product.  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now supervising the testing of new genetic antifungal ointment.  The Brand-name ointment is known to deliver a mean of 3.5 micrograms of active ingredient to each square centimeter of skin.

As part of the testing, seven subjects apply the ointment.  Six hours later, the amount of drugs that has been absorbed into the skin measured.  The amounts, in micrograms, are   2.6, 3.2, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 2.9, 3.7

How strong is the evidence that the mean amount absorbed differs from 3.5 micrograms?  Test by using a confidence interval with ?=0.05α=0.05.

Show Step1-Step3.

Round critical value to nearest hundredth.   (e.g.  0.1256 would be entered as 0.13) 

Round confidence interval to nearest thousandth.   (e.g.  0.12456 would be entered as 0.125)
