High cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. A total cholesterol reading above 190 mg/dL is considered high.A physician is concerned that a patient may be at risk for high cholesterol. In order to accurately measure the patient's average cholesterol level, the physician instructs the patient to come into the physician's office once a week for 12 weeks for a blood lipid screening. The results of the 12 measurements are listed below. 189 186 199 197 190 186 185 200 200 200 185 190 Use the critical value method to test the hypothesis that the patient's cholesterol level is greater than 190 mg/dL, using a significance level of 10%.
