In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering​ cholesterol,64 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes​(before minus​ after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol​ (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.7 and a standard deviation of 1.51. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with garlic​ treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic​ treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative​ hypotheses, test​ statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A. Determine the test statistic. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)   B. Determine the​ P-value. ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
