An education researcher would like to test whether 2^nd graders retain or lose knowledge during the summer when they are presumably not in school. She asks nine 2^nd graders to take a comprehension exam at the end of the school year (May), and then asks those same students to come back after the summer (late August) to retake a different but equivalent exam, to see if their level of comprehension has changed. Using the data below, test this hypothesis using an (alpha level of .05.)

May	August

72	80
78	95
50	65
