Refer to the data set in the accompanying table. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a significance level of 0.05 to test for a difference between the weights of discarded paper (in pounds) and weights of discarded plastic (in pounds). E Click the icon to view the data. In this example, Hg is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the weight of discarded paper minus the weight of discarded plastic for a household.
