A new drug has been developed for a group of people and the researchers are worried that it might have an effect on pulse rate. This particular group of people has a known mean pulse rate of 82 bpm (beats per minute). A sample of 36 people taking this experimental drug is taken from the population. The mean pulse rate of the sample is 84 bpm with a standard deviation of 5 bpm. Is there evidence that the drug is changing pulse rate?
Question 5 options:
1)
One sample z-test for the population mean.
2)
two sample z-test for the population means.
3)
One sample z-test for proportions.
4)
two sample z-test for proportions.
5)
one sample t-test for the population mean.
6)
None of our hypothesis tests fit.
