A drug for treating depression possibly has a side effect of increasing patients' amount of sweat they produce on a given day. To test the impact of the depression drug, researchers gather 25 depressed patients who are currently taking the medicine and observe the amount they sweat during a 24 hour period. This sample has a mean sweat production of 27mL with a standard deviation of 7. If the mean amount of sweat produced for all people is 23mL, can the researcher confirm that the depression drug increases patient perspiration?
