Elements 1-7 for Sample 1 are 11 7 9 12 13 15 15. Elements 1-7 for Sample 2 are 8 8 6 7 10 15 14.Construct a 95% conf.interval for the mean of the paired sample differences.
Sample 1 (X) Sample 2 (Y) d = X - Y

From the values of d, the following statistics are calculated:
n = 7
= 14/7 = 2
sd = 2.0817
SE = sd/
= 2.0817/ = 0.7868
ndf = 7 - 1 = 6
= 0.05
From Table, critical values of t = 2.4469
Confidence intervaL;
t SE
= 2 (2.4469 X 0.7868)
= 2 1.9252
= (0.0748 , 3.9252)
