17. Garlic for Reducing Cholesterol In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering  cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before  and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol  (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.4 and a standard deviation of 21.0 (based on data from "Effect  of Raw Garlic vs Commercial Garlic Supplements on Plasma Lipid Concentrations in Adults  with Moderate Hypercholesterolemia," by Gardner et al., Archives of Internal Medicine, Vol. 167).  Test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0.
