Question:

To find out whether a new serum will arrest leukemia, 11 mice, all with an
advanced stage of the disease, are selected. Five mice receive the treatment and six
do not. Survival times, in years, from the time the experiment commenced are as
follows:
Treatment      No treatment
2.1                     1.9
5.3                      0.5
1.4                      2.8
4.6                      3.1
0.9                       2
                            3
At the 0.01 level of significance, can the serum be said to be effective? Assume the
two populations to be normally distributed with equal variances.
