An agency offers preparation courses for a graduate school admissions test to students. As part of an experiment to evaluate the
merits of the course, 40 students were chosen and divided into 20 pairs in such a way that the members of any pair had similar
academic records. Before taking the test, one member of each pair was assigned at random to take the preparation course, while
the other member did not take a course. The achievement test scores are contained in the accompanying table. Assuming that the
differences in scores follow a normal distribution, test at the 5% level, the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal
against the alternative that the true mean is higher for students taking the preparation course.
