One of the ways in which doctors try to determine how long a single dose of pain reliever will provide relief is to measure the drug’s half-life, which is the length of time it takes for one-half of the dose to be eliminated from the body. A report of the National Institutes of Health states that the standard deviation of the half-life of the pain reliever oxycodone is σ = 1.43 hours. Assume that a sample of 25 patients is given the drug, and the sample standard deviation of the half-lives was s = 1.5 hours. Assume the population is normally distributed. Can you conclude that the true standard deviation is greater than the value reported by the National Institutes of Health?
