2 Low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is known as 'bad' cholesterol.
15 randomly chosen patients, each with an LDL level of 190 mg per decilitre of blood, were given one of two treatments, chosen at random. After twelve weeks their LDL levels, in mg per decilitre, were as follows.
| Treatment \(A\) | 189 | 168 | 176 | 186 | 183 | 187 | 188 | |
| Treatment \(B\) | 177 | 179 | 173 | 180 | 178 | 170 | 175 | 174 |
Use a Wilcoxon rank sum test, at the \(5 \%\) level of significance, to test whether the LDL levels of patients given treatment \(B\) are lower than the LDL levels of patients given treatment \(A\).
