Question

A study was carried out to assess the effect of a new medication in reducing blood pressure. In the trial, 59 subjects were enrolled, of which 30 were randomly allocated to receive a new treatment, while 29 received a control medication. After 20 weeks in the study, each subject's blood pressure, $X$, was measured, leading to the following summary statistics: $ar{x}_T = $ 9.63, $ar{x}_C = $ 9.79, $s_ p^2 = $ 1.41. With $ar{x}_T$ and $ar{x}_C$ representing the mean blood pressures in the treatment and control groups respectively, it is desired to test $H_0: mu_T = mu_C$ against $H_A: mu_T < mu_C$ .

    The diet of peregrine falcons consists of songbirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl. Typically, songbirds are smaller than shorebirds, which are smaller than waterfowl. The female peregrine is considerably larger than the male, with a length of 46-54 cm, compared to 38-46 cm for the male. Data were collected on the prey of a number of peregrines of each sex for the purpose of determining whether or not the larger females more regularly capture the larger prey, with the results below.
