Question Four. 

In an effort to improve the mathematical skills of 10 students, a teacher provides a weekly 1-hour tutoring session. A pre-test is given before the sessions and a post-test is given after. The results are shown here. Test the claim that there was a decrease in the scores at \(\alpha=0.05\). You believe that the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. When calculating difference use Post-test minus Pre-test.

| pre-test | post-test |
|----------|-----------|
| 83       | 89        |
| 45       | 52        |
| 51       | 58        |
| 83       | 80        |
| 64       | 58        |
| 54       | 52        |
| 44       | 43        |
| 97       | 92        |
| 89       | 92        |
| 51       | 51        |

Which of the following are the correct hypotheses?

- \(H_0 : \mu_d \geq 0\)  
  \(H_A : \mu_d < 0\) (claim)
  
- \(H_0 : \mu_d \leq 0\)  
  \(H_A : \mu_d > 0\) (claim)
  
- \(H_0 : \mu_d = 0\)  
  \(H_A : \mu_d \neq 0\) (claim)

Given that \(\alpha\) is 0.05, the critical value is -1.833.

The test statistic is: \_\_\_\_\_\_ (round to 3 places)

The p-value is: \_\_\_\_\_\_ (round to 3 places)

The decision can be made to:

- reject \(H_0\)
- do not reject \(H_0\)

The final conclusion is that:

- There is enough evidence to reject the claim that there was a decrease in the scores.
- There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that there was a decrease in the scores.
- There is enough evidence to support the claim that there was a decrease in the scores.
- There is not enough evidence to support the claim that there was a decrease in the scores.
