Expert answer:Formulate and evaluate hypothesis tests for population parameters based on sample statistics using both Critical Regions and P-Values, and be able to state results in a non-technical way that can be understood by consumers of the data instead of statisticians. Please see the file. All calculations should be provided on a separate Excel workbook that should be submitted.

Deliverable 05 – Worksheet
Instructions: The following worksheet describes two examples – one is an example for
independent samples and the other one for dependent samples. Your job is to demonstrate the
solution to each scenario by showing how to work through each example in detail. You are
expected to explain all of the steps in your own words.
Independent samples:
One of our researchers wishes to determine whether people with high blood pressure can reduce
their systolic blood pressure by taking a new drug we have developed. The sample data is shown
below, where ̅1 represents the mean blood pressure of the treatment group and ̅2 represents the
mean for the control group. Use a significance level of 0.01 and the critical value method to test
the claim that the drug reduces the blood pressure. We do not know the values of the population
standard deviations.

Dependent samples
This same new drug was tested on another group, but this time the test was done before the drug
was administered, and then tested after the drug was given to the same group. The results are
shown in the table below:

Use the data above with a significance level of 0.05 to test the claim that for the populations of
blood pressures before and after the drug, the differences have a mean greater than 0 mm Hg (so
the claim is that the drug helps lower the blood pressure). Use the P-Value method to determine
whether or not to reject the null hypothesis and state your conclusion.
4. Write the hypotheses in symbolic form, determine if the test is right-tailed, left-
tailed, or two tailed and explain why.
