(a) Formulate an appropriate statistical model, defining all the terms. State the null and two-sided alternative hypotheses which reflect the research question of interest.

(b) Enter the data into R, and calculate the means for placebo and epinephrine. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in cholesterol levels between the placebo and epinephrine. Use the confidence interval to test your null hypothesis.
