Suppose a researcher is interested in a new treatment plan for CD4 cell count in immune-compromised patients with HIV. In order to investigate the new drug, the researcher gathers a group of 25 individuals with a mean CD4 count of 335 cells/mm3 after treatment with a standard deviation of 12.1. Test the hypothesis that the mean CD4 count goal is not 329.28 cells/mm3. Perform a two-way directional test, complete the 5 step process and calculate the appropriate confidence interval. (Use an alpha level of 0.01)
