6 The management of the Wellfit gym claims that the mean cholesterol level of those members who have held membership of the gym for more than one year is 3.8 .
A local doctor believes that the management's claim is too low and investigates by measuring the cholesterol levels of a random sample of 7 such members of the Wellfit gym, with the following results:
$$\begin{array} { l l l l l l l }
4.2 & 4.3 & 3.9 & 3.8 & 3.6 & 4.8 & 4.1
\end{array}$$
Is there evidence, at the \(5 \%\) level of significance, to justify the doctor's belief that the mean cholesterol level is greater than the management's claim? State any assumption that you make.
