3) An experiment was performed where HEK 293 cells expressing TLR5 was treated with flagellin and the following absorbance readings were measured at 655 nm.
No treatment: 0.232, 0.247, 0.239
Flagellin treatment: 0.355, 0.377, 0.350
What is the P-value as calculated by T-test? Assume 2-tails and equal variance among the groups.
