1. A researcher is investigating a new blood pressure medication versus standard medication twenty

five thousand (25,000) known hypertensive individuals were tested and it is found that subjects

on the investigational medication had a mean systolic blood pressure of 119 and the subjects on

standard medication had a mean systolic blood pressure of 120. The findings are significant

p<.0001.

How could these results be interpreted by a clinician? Discuss clinical and statistical

significance. Would you expect this test to be incorporated into widespread practice

based on this study?
