3) Let's examine the levels of levels of sodium in the blood. 20 people yield the following results (in mEq/L): y = 135.95 s=2.544 (a) Test Ho: 133 using a = 0.001 (that's not a typo). (b) Figure out the p-value. To do this, take the t* value that you calculated in (a) and use R: pt (absolute-value-of-your-t*, df, lower.tail = FALSE) *2 Since it's a two sided test, you need to multiply by 2 at the end. We'll talk more about this in lecture when we do one sided tests; for now just realize that without the "*2" at the end R gives you a one sided p-value.

Question
If your not going to answer all 6 questions, don't answer this than, or else I'm gna mark the answer as incorrect even if you got it right, so only answer all 6 if your going to answer. also for B u can just figure out the P value, DONT worry about what it says about using "R"
