The Corona virus Diseases (Covid 19) is an infectious disease caused by a new strain pf
coronavirus. The WHO claims that the incubation period of the virus in the infected person has a
mean of 5.1 days. The doctors in the Philippines conducted a research and they found out that
the incubation period of the virus in human is 6.03 days with a standard deviation of 3.32. the
samples were 46 COVID patients. Is there enough evidence to conclude that the incubation
period of the virus is 5.1 days as stated, at α =0.0 1?
