INCLUDE/SHOW SAS CODE PLEASE
A drug company was concerned about the length of time a
particular drug retained its potency. A random sample (Sample 1) of
10 bottles of the product was drawn from current production and
analyzed for potency. A second sample (Sample 2) was obtained,
stored for 1 year, and then analyzed.
The measurements obtained are as follows:
Sample 1 10.6 10.2 10.5 10.3 10.8 9.8 10.6 10.7 10.2 10.0
