An endocrinologist is interested in the effects of depression on the thyroid. It is believed that healthy subjectshave a mean thyroxin level of 7.0 mcg/100ml and a standard deviation of 1.6mcg/100 ml.

She samples 35 subjectswith depression and obtains a sample mean of 7.46 mcg/100 ml for thyroxin.
