Question: A medical researcher wants to determine whether a drug changes the body's temperature. Seven test subjects are randomly selected and the body temperature of each is measured. The subjects are then given the drug and, after 20 minutes, the body temperature is measured again. The results are listed below. At an alpha level of .05, is there enough evidence to conclude that the drug changes the body's temperature? Assume the body temperatures are normally distributed.
