QUESTION 1

Two Means, Independent Data

The sample data here is the cholesterol levels for 10 men diagnosed with high cholesterol.
The first row represents levels from 10 men who did not use the drug and the second row
from 10 different men who did use the drug. Test the claim that the mean level for all men
who use the drug is less than the mean for all men who do not use it. Use a 0.01
significance level. You should enter the data into Excel as columns with headings in the
first row.

Cholesterol Levels in mg/dL

QUESTION 3

Mean Difference, Paired Data

The sample data here is the cholesterol levels for 10 men diagnosed with high cholesterol.
The first row represents levels before the drug and the second row, after the drug. Test
the claim that, on average, the drug lowers cholesterol levels in all men. Use a 0.01
significance level. You should enter the data into Excel as columns with headings in the
first row.

Cholesterol Levels in mg/dL
