Increased blood vessel formulation is a predictive factor in survival for a certain disease. One treatment is stem cell transplantation with the​ patient's own stem cells. The accompanying data table represents the microvessel density for patients who had a complete response to the stem cell transplant. The measurements were taken immediately prior to the stem cell transplant and at the time the complete response was determined. Complete parts​ (b)

Final answer:

The p-value cannot be determined without additional information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value is the probability of obtaining results as extreme as the observed data, assuming the null hypothesis is true. In this case, the null hypothesis would be that increased blood vessel formation is not predictive of survival for the disease. To calculate the p-value, we need the test statistic and the appropriate statistical distribution.

The test statistic given is 2.10 (STAT=2.10). To determine the p-value, we would compare this test statistic to the critical value from the statistical distribution that corresponds to the desired level of significance (alpha). If the test statistic is larger than the critical value, the p-value would be less than alpha, indicating statistical significance.

However, the accompanying data table and the given information do not provide the necessary information to calculate the p-value or determine the appropriate statistical distribution. More information is needed to determine the p-value in this context.
