You're conducting a randomized control clinical trial of whether walking 10,000 steps a day versus not walking 10,000 steps a day for three weeks resolved and better blood pressure control at three weeks among 300 patients for the scenario above what statistical test would you use
Added by James Y.
Step 1
You have a randomized controlled trial with two independent groups: "walk 10,000 steps/day" versus "not walk 10,000 steps/day" measured at 3 weeks. Total sample size = 300 (presumably split between groups). Show more…

You are part of a research team that wants to determine the effectiveness of exercise vs. blood pressure medications on lowering blood pressure. Sixty participants are enrolled in your study and randomly assigned to the treatment groups. Some participants will use exercise for 3 months, and the others will take Lisinopril, a blood pressure-lowering medication, for the same time. At the end of the study, you have each individual's baseline and 3-month blood pressure readings. Please state your hypothesis, independent, and dependent variables from this example.

Continuing from above problem. This research group introduced the new treatment program to a random sample of 45 patients who had high blood pressure issues. Then they used a hypothesis test for mean to test the effectiveness of their treatment program. What would they use for the alternate hypothesis?
