Question
### Testing an Hypothesis about Heights of Sons and Fathers:
To test the belief that sons are taller than their fathers, a student randomly selects 13 fathers who have adult male children. She records the height of both the father and son in inches and obtains the following data. Are sons taller than their fathers? Use the α = 0.10 level of significance. Note: A normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers.

- [Click here to view the table of critical t-values.](#)

#### Conditions for the Test:
Which conditions must be met by the sample for this test? Select all that apply.

- [ ] A. The differences are normally distributed or the sample size is large.
- [ ] B. The sampling method results in an independent sample.
- [ ] C. The sample size is no more than 5% of the population size.
- [ ] D. The sampling method results in a dependent sample.
- [ ] E. The sample size must be large.

#### Hypotheses for the Test:
Let \( d_i = X_i - Y_i \). Write the hypotheses for the test:
- \( H_0 \): [Dropdown for Null Hypothesis]
- \( H_1 \): [Dropdown for Alternate Hypothesis]

#### Calculate the Test Statistic:
\[ t_0 = [Input Box] \] (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

#### Identify the Critical Value(s) for this Test:
Select the correct choice below and fill in all answer boxes within your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

- [ ] A. \(-t_{\alpha} = [Input Box]\)
- [ ] B. \( t_{\alpha} = [Input Box]\)
- [ ] C. \( t_{\alpha/2} = [Input Box] \) or \( -t_{\alpha/2} = [Input Box]\)

#### Decision Rule:
Compare the critical value to the test statistic. For a two-tailed test, reject the null hypothesis if \( t_0 < -t_{\alpha/2} \) or \( t_0 > t_{\alpha/2} \). For a left-tailed test, reject the null hypothesis if \( t_0 < -t_{\alpha} \). For a right-tailed test, reject the null hypothesis

**Table of Critical Values for Student's t-Distribution**

The table below provides critical values for the Student's t-distribution with various areas in the right tail. The degrees of freedom range from 1 to 30. The top row identifies the proportion of the distribution in the right tail for each column. A diagram beside the table provides a visual representation, highlighting the area in the right tail of the t-distribution curve.
