Question

The mean serum-creatinine level measured in 12 patients 24 hours after they received a newly proposed antibiotic was 1.2 mg/dL.

    1. If the mean and standard deviation of serum creatinine in the general population are 1.0 and 0.4 mg/dL, respectively, then, using significance level of .05, test whether the mean serum-creatinine level in this group is different from that of the general population.
    2. Suppose the sample standard deviation of serum creatinine in 3a is 0.6 mg/dL. Assume that the standard deviation of serum creatinine is not known. Perform a hypothesis test in 3a.
    3. Compute a two-sided 95% CI for the true mean serum-creatinine level in 3b.
    4. How does your answer to 3b relate to your answer to 3c?
