2. It has been suggested that the older a person becomes the more likely they are to become politically conservative. To see if there is any truth to this, eight 40-year-old adults are given a test which measures how politically conservative they are and then, 20 years later they are given the same test a second time. The following are their scores, where higher scores indicate being more conservative: Adults 40-year-old scores 60- year-old scores 1234567∞ 20 28 32 26 36 18 25 222222 34 27 40 28 24 30 34 16 21 a) Are the adults more conservative at 60 years of age than they were at 40 years of age (alpha = .005)?
