In: Statistics and Probability
A manager wishes to see if the time (in minutes) it takes for
their workers to complete a certain task will change when they are
allowed to wear ear buds to listen to music at work.
A random sample of 9 workers' times were collected before and after
wearing ear buds. Assume the data is normally distributed.
Perform a Matched-Pairs hypotheis T-test for the claim that the
time to complete the task has changed at a significance level of
α=0.01α=0.01.
(If you wish to copy this data to a spreadsheet or StatCrunch, you
may find it useful to first copy it to Notepad, in order to remove
any formatting.)
Round answers to 3 decimal places.
For this problem, μd=μAfterμd=μAfter - μμ_Before,
where the first data set represents "after" and the second data set
represents "before".

This P-value leads to a decision to... Select an answer reject the
null reject the claim fail to reject the null accept the
null
As such, the final conclusion is that... Select an answer There is
sufficient evidence to support the claim that the time to complete
the task has changed. There is not sufficient evidence to support
the claim that the time to complete the task has changed
