A chain of hardware stores is trying to sell more paint by mailing pamphlets describing the paint. In 15 communities containing one of these hardware stores, the paint sales (in dollars) were recorded for the months before and after the ads were sent out. The paired results for each store follow.

Sales after 612 151 795 285 718 467 285 641 506 119 269 361 97 214 283
Sales before 462 212 647 259 688 436 229 479 374 119 115 369 94 295 435

 

(c) Find the sample test statistic. (Use 2 decimal places for the value of x in your calculations. Use 2 decimal places for your answer.)


(d) For the sign test, rank-sum test, and Spearman correlation coefficient test, find the P-value of the sample test statistic. For the runs test of randomness, find the critical values from Table 10 of Appendix II. (Use 4 decimal places.)
