In Exercises 520, assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Do the following: a. Test the given claim using the Pvalue method or critical value method. b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the given claim.Magnet Treatment of Pain People spend around $5 billion annually for the purchase of magnets used to treat a wide variety of pains. Researchersconducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. Pain was measured using the visual analog scale, and the resultsgiven below are among the results obtained in the study (based on data from Bipolar Permanent Magnets for the Treatment of Chronic Lower BackPain: A Pilot Study, by Collacott, Zimmerman, White, and Rindone, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 283, No. 10). Use a 0.05significance level to test the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater mean reduction in pain than those given a sham treatment (similar toa placebo). Does it appear that magnets are effective in treating back pain? Is it valid to argue that magnets might appear to be effective if the samplesizes are larger?Reduction in Pain Level After Magnet Treatment: n = 20 , x = 0.49 , s = 0.96 Reduction in Pain Level After Sham Treatment: n = 20 , x = 0.44 , s =
