A researcher randomly selects 6 fathers who have adult sons and records the fathers' and sons' heights to obtain the data shown in the table below. Test the claim
that sons are taller than their fathers at the a = 0.10 level of significance. The normal probability plot and boxplot indicate that the differences are approximately
normally distributed with no outliers so the use of a paired t-test is reasonable.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Our aim is to test the claim that sons are taller than their fathers.

Here , we use the paired t-test.

The degrees of freedom is given by,

df=n-1=6-1=5

The table given below , 

Observation Height of father (x) Height of son(y) di=x-y di^2
1 65.4 65.7 -0.3 0.09
2 71.4 75 -3.6 12.96
3 74.2 77.4 -3.2 10.24
4 72.1 70.3 1.8 3.24
5 65.4 63 2.4 5.76
6 69.8 67.6 2.2 4.84
    Sum -0.7 37.13

From table , 

d=din=-0.76=-0.1167

sd=di2-(di)2nn-1=37.13-(-0.7)266-1=2.7221
