(d) Carry out an (incorrect) two-sample test and state your conclusions. (e) Using the sample variances s? and s associated with the set of readings observed before and after, calculate the variance of the difference, assuming independence (call this variance 1). How does this value compare with the variance of the difference calculated in part (a)? (Call this variance 2.) Why do you suppose variance 1 is so much bigger than variance 2? The average of the differences is the same as the difference in the averages. Show this. Hence, the two-sample t-test differed from the paired t-test only in the divisor. Which of the two tests in more powerful in this case, that is, declares a difference significant when in fact there is one?

For this question, I've solved (a)(b)(c) subparts.
I don't know how to do the rest, which means subparts (d) and (e).
Thank you for helping me this.
Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
