 Question 36 2 points Save A In the general population, patients

Question 36 2 points Save A In the general population, patients who are recovering from bronchial pneumonia normally take a mean (average) of 4.75 days to leave the hospital, with a population standard deviation of 1.82 days. Medical personnel at a hospital are trying a new medication that is designed to ease breathing during recovery. What is not currently known is whether the medication will impact duration of hospital stay. The first sample of 25 patients (n=25) to whom this medication was administered were released from the hospital in a mean (average of 2.60 days. Based on this result, should the hospital conclude that there is a significant difference in duration of hospital stay because of the new medication? The most appropriate alternative hypothesis (in symbols) would be: O Hnewmed = 4.75 O Hnewmed = 2.60 O Hnewmed * 4.75 O Hnewmed 2.60 A Moving to another question will save this response.
