ANSWER::

Before After Difference
720 740 -20
860 860 0
850 840 10
880 920 -40
860 890 -30
710 720 -10
850 840 10
1200 1240 -40
950 970 -20

∑d =    -140  

∑d² =    5200  

n =    9  

Mean , x̅d = Ʃd/n =    -140/9 =    -15.5556

Standard deviation, sd = √[(Ʃd² - (Ʃd)²/n)/(n-1)] =    √[(5200-(-140)²/9)/(9-1)] =    19.4365

Null and Alternative hypothesis:  

Ho : µd =    0

H1 : µd ≠    0

Test statistic:  

t = (x̅d)/(sd/√n) = (-15.5556)/(19.4365/√9) =    -2.4010

df = n-1 =    8

Critical value :  

Two tailed critical value, t-crit = T.INV.2T(0.1, 8) =    1.860

Reject Ho if t < -1.86 or if t > 1.86  

p-value :  

Two tailed p-value = T.DIST.2T(ABS(-2.401), 8) =    0.0431

Decision:  

p-value < α, Reject the null hypothesis  

Conclusion:  

There is enough evidence to conclude that the course changes performance on the SAT at 0.1 significance level.

USING R : A random sample of 40 students took an SAT preparation course prior to taking the SAT. The sample mean of their quantitative SAT scores was 560 with a s.d. of 95, and the sample mean of their verbal SAT scores was 525 with a s.d. of 100. Suppose the mean scores for all students who took the SAT at that time was 535 for the quantitative and 512 for the verbal. Do the means for students who...
