In an investigation of the toxin produced by a certain poisonous snake, a researcher prepared 26 different vials, each containing 1g of the toxin, and then determined the amount of antitoxin needed to neutralize the toxin. The sample average amount of antitoxin necessary was found to be 1.89 mg, and the sample standard deviation was .42. Previous research had indicated that the true average neutralizing amount was 1.75 mg/g of toxin. Does the new data contradict the value suggested by prior research? Test the relevant hypotheses using the P-value approach. Does the validity of your analysis depend on any assumptions about the population distribution of neutralizing amount? Explain.
