A researcher is interested in whether herbal remedies are effective in relieving allergies, and if so, which ones are most effective (Table: Herbal Remedies). The researcher takes a group of 20 allergy sufferers and randomly assigns each one to receive herbal tea, a homeopathic administration of allergens, a traditional antihistamine, or a placebo pill. The dependent measure is the number of allergy complaints by patients during weeks two and three of the treatments. Perform the six steps of hypothesis testing on the set of fictional data in the table. Final calculations should be presented in a source table.
