Question
A scientist claims that pneumonia causes weight loss in mice. The table shows the weights​ (in grams) of six mice before infection and two days after infection. At
alphaαequals=0.10​,
is there enough evidence to support the​ scientist's claim? Assume the samples are random and​ dependent, and the population is normally distributed. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e) below.
 
Mouse

Weight​ (before)
22.9
19.1
23.6
21.2

Let
u Subscript d μd
be the hypothesized mean of the difference in the weights
​(before minus−​after).
What are
Upper H0
and
Upper Ha​?
 
 
A.
Upper H0​:
u Subscript d μd less than or equals≤0
Upper Ha​:
u Subscript d μd greater than>0
 
B.
Upper H0​:
u Subscript d μd not equals≠0
Upper Ha​:
u Subscript d μd equals=0
 
C.
Upper H0​:
u Subscript d μd greater than or equals≥0
Upper Ha​:
u Subscript d μd less than<0
 
D.
Upper H0​:
u Subscript d μd equals=0
Upper Ha​:
u Subscript d μd not equals≠0
 
E.
Upper H0​:
mu Subscript d μd less than or equals≤d overbard
Upper Ha​:
u Subscript d μd greater than>d overbard
 
F.
Upper H0​:
u Subscript d μd greater than or equals≥d overbard
Upper Ha​:
u Subscript d μd less than<d overbard
​(b) Find the critical​ value(s) and identify the rejection​ region(s).
 
Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes to complete your choice.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
A.
t less than<Blank
or
t greater than>Blank
 
B.
t less than<Blank
 
C.
t greater than>Blank
​(c) Calculate
d overboard
and
S  Subscript d.
 
d overboard equals=Blank
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Calculate
 
s Subscript d.
 
s Subscript d =Blank
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
​(d) Find the standardized test statistic t.
 
tequals=Blank
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
​(e) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
 
 
 
Reject
Fail to reject
the null hypothesis. There
 
 
is not
is
enough evidence to
 
 
support
reject
the claim that
 
 
pnuemonia
weight gain
weight loss
causes
 
 
weight loss
weight gain
pnuemonia
in mice.
