The sample mean isÂ
weeks, with sample standard deviation s ≈ 10.0. Let x be a random variable representing the remission time (in weeks) for all patients using 6-mP. Assume the x distribution is mound-shaped and symmetric. A previously used drug treatment had a mean remission time of μ = 12.5 weeks.
Do the data indicate that the mean remission time using the drug 6-mP is different (either way) from 12.5 weeks? Use a = 0.01.
