Refer to Example 11, which compared two doses of a medication in terms of the number of symptom-free days, using a permutation approach. Table 10.13 and Figure 10.9 showed the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means between the two doses. If truly the population distribution of the number of symptom-free days is identical for both doses (the null hypothesis), what value would you expect for the center of the sampliSkipng distribution of xÌ…₁- xÌ…₂ ? Find the mean of the sampling distribution given in Table 10.13.
