The National Center for Health Statistics reports that the mean systolic blood pressure for males 35 to 44 years of age is 128 with a standard deviation of 15. In a sample of 72 CSLA male faculty members in this age group a nursing faculty member found an average systolic blood pressure of 126. (1) State the null and alternative hypotheses for this study (2) What is the dependent and independent variable for this study (3) What test statistic/hypothesis test would you select to determine if the means are significantly difference at the alpha .05 level? (4) What critical value would you use to make your decision to reject or retain the null hypothesis at alpha .05?
