A researcher is testing the effect of a new cold and flu medication on reaction time. A sample of n=16 students is obtained and each student is given the normal dose of the medicine. Thirty minutes later, each student’s reaction time is measured. The scores for the sample averaged 220 milliseconds with a standard deviation of 20. Assuming that reaction time for students in the regular population averages 200 milliseconds, are the data sufficient to conclude that the medication has a significant effect on reaction time? Use a two-tailed single-sample (one-group) t-test with alpha = .05.
What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
