Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis should be: The average woman's leg hair grows an eighth of an inch per month: u = eighth of an inch

Alternative hypothesis: The average woman's leg hair growth is not an eighth of an inch per month after treatment: u ≠ eighth of an inch

This test after carrying out its treatment will be able to determine if the drug was effective or not
