are given artificially high temperature and the drug is administered. Given before and after
temperatures, test the hypothesis that the drug is effective; use the 0.05 level of significance.(8)

(b)
5-a In a certain experiment to compare two type of sheep food A and B, the following results of increase
in weights were observed.
Sheep no. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Food A 49 53 51 52 47 50 52 53

food A.
