10.19 In a research report, Richard H. Weindruch of the UCLA Medical School claims that mice with an average life span of 32 months will live to be about 40 months old when 40% of the calories in their diet are replaced by vitamins and protein. Is there any reason to believe that i < 40 if 64 mice that are placed on this diet have an average life of 38 months with a stan- dard deviation of 5.8 months? Use a P-value in your conclusion.

4. (25 pts) Solve Problem 10.19 in textbook by answering the following questions. (a) In this problem, the “standard deviation of 5.8 months” means the sample standard deviation for the 64 mice (not the population standard deviation o). Find the value of the t-test statistic for the sample considered. (b) Find the number of degrees of freedom for the t-distribution that this test statistic follows. (c) Using Table A.4 on pages 737-738 of the textbook, find an approximate p- value for this test. You will only be able to find a range for the p-value (for example, between 0.01 and 0.015) using this table. Report the larger of the two numbers so that the amount of evidence is not exaggerated (note that a smaller p- value indicates a greater amount of evidence refuting H).
