Background info: Beckham et al.(2010) reported data on the amplification of the atf gene in cells heated due to laser surgery or not. They report Cp values (the number cycles of amplification before crossing a background threshold) for cells from 10 patients exposed to laser surgery and from 10 patients not exposed to laser surgery.

Question: Test the hypothesis( using parametric test and non parametric test) that exposure to heat associated with laser surgery has no effect on expression of the atf gene. ***State your null and alternative hypothesis, perform and report the details of the test, and interpret the results.**
