For the dataset Production Count.xlsx. Is there evidence at a 5% significance level that the mean production count for factory workers is greater after attending a seminar than before? Highlight the P-value and interpret your result.
| Worker | Before Count | After Count |
| 1 | 20 | 22 |
| 2 | 25 | 28 |
| 3 | 27 | 27 |
| 4 | 23 | 26 |
| 5 | 22 | 25 |
| 6 | 20 | 19 |
| 7 | 17 | 18 |
| 8 | 27 | 29 |
| 9 | 20 | 22 |
| 10 | 26 | 24 |
| 11 | 26 | 23 |
| 12 | 20 | 31 |
| 13 | 18 | 24 |
| 14 | 23 | 19 |
| 15 | 17 | 21 |
| 16 | 23 | 35 |
| 17 | 20 | 28 |
| 18 | 23 | 29 |
| 19 | 18 | 20 |
This Problem is solved by using Minitab Software .
Step 1 : Data Entering

Step 2 : Paired t- test
Minitab Path : stat >> Basic statistics >>paired t test
Output is
Answer :
D = After count - Before count
H0 :
Ha :
P-value = 0.004
Decision Rule : If P-value less than 0.05 ,Reject H0
Interpretation : Reject H0 , that mean there is statistically significant difference .Therefore the mean production count for factory workers is greater after attending a seminar than before.
