Question

The hemoglobin count (HC) in grams per 100 milliliters of whole blood is approximately normally distributed with population mean 14 for healthy adult women. Suppose a female patient has had 19 laboratory blood tests during the past year. Her average HC is 13.49 with s = 2.48. Is there evidence that her average HC is not 14?

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type "mu" for the symbol μ� , e.g. mu >> 1 for the mean is greater than 1, mu << 1 for the mean is less than 1, mu not = 1 for the mean is not equal to 1)
