The ankle brachial index (ABI) compares the blood pressure of a patient's arm to the blood pressure

Question:

The ankle brachial index (ABI) compares the blood pressure of a patient's arm to the blood pressure of the patient's leg. The ABI can be an indicator of different diseases, including arterial diseases. A healthy (or normal) ABI is 0.9 or greater. In a study by M. McDermott et al. titled "Sex Differences in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Leg Symptoms and Physical Functioning" (Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Vol. 51, No. 2, pp. 222-228), the researchers obtained the ABI of 187 women with peripheral arterial disease. The results were a mean ABI of 0.64 with a standard deviation of 0.15. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, women with peripheral arterial disease have an unhealthy ABI?
