Textbook Question

Chapter 7, Problem 29P

A pilot study of a new antihypertensive agent is performed for the purpose of planning a larger study. Five patients who have a mean DBP of at least 95 mm Hg are recruited for the study and are kept on the agent for 1 month. After 1 month the observed mean decline in DBP in these five patients is 4.8 mm Hg with a standard deviation of 9 mm Hg.

Suppose we conduct a study of the preceding hypothesis based on 20 participants. What is the probability we will be able to reject H₀ using a one-sided test at the 5% level if the true mean and standard deviation of the DBP difference are the same as in the pilot study?

A retail store manager claims that the average daily sales of the store are $1,500. You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value. Showing the calculation is a must. If calculation is missing,so please provide a step by step on the answers Numerical answers in the yellow cells
