Question

An experiment was conducted to see whether drinking tea every day has an effect on the duration of flu symptoms. The common flu lasts 8 days on average as a medical report indicates. The designer of the experiment begins with no expectation on flu duration. The sample size of this experiment is 144 and the sample standard deviation is computed as 12 days. The result of the experiment shows that the average duration of flu for the participants who drank tea every day is 6 days.

 

  • Write down the alternative hypothesis and the null hypothesis of the experiment.
  • Write down the appropriate test statistic and compute the value for the test statistic.
  • Calculate the p-value and state if the null hypothesis should be rejected. State your conclusion based on the context.
