load
A team of researchers wanted to prove that natural rather than pharmaceutical products are the way to go. Thus, they set out to determine if their improved sugarcane extract is more effective than Remdesivir, a drug used to treat viral infections. Assume that the population variance of sugarcane extract is 14380.62 while the population variance of Remdesivir is 13447.04. The data set on the right shows the results of the patients' viral load in copies/mL. Test the claim at alpha = 0.05 using the traditional method.
4. Give the null hypothesis in words.
5. Give the alternative hypothesis in words.
6. Determine the critical value or p-value ().
7. Identify what test to be used.
8. Explain why this test is most appropriate.
9. Make the decision using specific evidence.
10. Summarize the results for the study.
