The effective time of the anesthetic the d ug company is
cu rently producing has a no mal dist ibution with an mean of 7.4
minutes with a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes. The chemist y
of the new anesthetic is such that the effective time should be
no mally dist ibuted with the same standard deviation, but the
mean effective time may be lower. If it is lower, the d ug company
will market the new anesthetic; othe wise, they will continue to
produce the older one. A sample of size 36 results in a sample
mean of 7.1. A hypothesis test will be done to help make the
decision. the approp iate hypotheses are: Refer the screen shot
