Suppose a researcher is interested in the relationship between periodontal disease and a number of negative health outcomes. One outcome of particular interest to the researcher is hypertension (assume defined as systolic blood pressure above 140 mmHG). Suppose a team gathers a SRS of 348 participants with periodontal disease, and finds the sample average systolic blood pressure to be 157 mmHG. A) Using an assumed σ=16 mmHG, conduct a 1 sample Z test to determine if there is a relationship between periodontal disease and hypertension in this population. (Use α=0.05)
