Makers of generic drugs must show that they do not differ significantly from the "reference" drugs that they imitate. one aspect in which drugs might differ is their extent of absorption in the blood. the below table gives data taken from 20 healthy nonsmoking male subjects for on pair of drugs. this is a matched pairs design. numbers 1-20 were assigned at random to the subjects. subjects 1-10 received the generic drug first, and subjects 11-20 received the reference drug first. in all cases, a washout period separated the two drugs so that the first had disappeared from the blood before the subject took the second. do the drugs differ significantly in absorption? describe the procedure used in testing for significance.
