Marian found that the average height of female students in her psychology class was 63 inches with a standard deviation of 2.2. Which statistic should she use to determine if the difference between her classmates' average height and the population mean of female adults (Mean = 64 inches; standard deviation = 3.5) is statistically significant.

Marjoe breeds German shepherds and trains them to work as service animals for people with disabilities. He is testing the effects of a new training technique on male and female puppies. When a litter is born, he uses the old technique to train them for four weeks and then tests them. For the following four weeks, he trains them using the new technique. He tests them again so that he can compare the scores they attained after the old training to those they attain after the new training. Which test statistic should he use to determine whether the new training is better than the old training?
