Paired t-test of μ(1-2)
Test Ho: μ(S - M)= 0 vs HA: μ(S - M)≠ 0
Mean of Paired Differences = 1.6 t-Statistic = 4 w/4 df
p = 0.0161
2-Sample t-Test of μ1 - μ2
Ho: μS - μM = 0 Ha: μS - μM ≠ 0
Test H0: μ(S)- μ(M)= 0 vs HA: μ(S)- μ(M)≠ 0
Difference Between Means = 1.6 t-Statistic = 1.8353 w/7.27 df
p = 0.1075
Which of these tests is appropriate for these data? Explain.Using the test you select,state your conclusion.
