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
α=0.01​,
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.

​(a) Identify the claim and state
H0
and
Ha.
 
What is the​ claim?
 
 
A.
Weight gain causes pneumonia in mice.
 
B.
Pneumonia causes weight loss in mice.
Your answer is correct.
 
C.
Weight loss causes pneumonia in mice.
 
D.
Pneumonia causes weight gain in mice.
Let
μd
be the hypothesized mean of the difference in the weights
​(before−​after).
What are
H0
and
Ha​?
 
 
A.
H0​:
μd≤0
Ha​:
μd>0
Your answer is correct.
 
B.
H0​:
μd≥0
Ha​:
μd<0
 
C.
H0​:
μd≤d
Ha​:
μd>d
 
D.
H0​:
μd=0
Ha​:
μd≠0
 
E.
H0​:
μd≠0
Ha​:
μd=0
 
F.
H0​:
μd≥d
Ha​:
μd<d
​(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>3.3653.365
Your answer is correct.
 
B.
t<nothing
or
t>nothing
 
C.
t<nothing
​(c) Calculate
d
and
sd.
