A dermatologist is interested in whether a new treatment for poison ivy would reduce symptoms more quickly than the current treatment. In general, the current treatment completely eliminates symptoms after an average of 50 hours, with a standard deviation of 10 hours and is normally distributed. One randomly selected patient given the new treatment had no symptoms after 38 hours. Using the .05 level of significance, is the new treatment faster than the current one? Be sure to sketch the distribution involved. (Use the .05 significance level.) Be sure to fully state the five steps and show ALL calculations/work.
