A dietitian wants to test if on the average a person’s cholesterol level will be lowered if their diet is supplemented with a certain mineral. Six subjects have their cholesterol level tested before taking this mineral and again after taking this mineral for a 3 months. The measured cholesterol levels are listed in the table below:

 

Level Before Mineral

210

235

208

190

172

244

Level After Mineral

190

170

210

188

173

228


When doing a Hypothesis Test to test this dietitian's claim the Degree of Freedom used and the computed P-value are

  A.)

Degree of Freedom = 10 and P-value = 0.1349

  B.)

Degree of Freedom = 9.6562 and P-value = 0.1354

  C.)

Degree of Freedom = 5 and P-Value = 0.1688

  D.)

Degree of Freedom = 5 and P-value = 0.0844
