An adviser is testing out a new online learning module for a placement test. They
wish to test the claim that on average the new online learning module increased placement
scores at a significance level of α = 0.05. For the context of this problem, μD=μnew–μold where
the first data set represents the new test scores and the second data set represents old test
scores. Assume the population is normally distributed.
H0: μD = 0
H1: μD < 0
You obtain the following paired sample of 19 students that took the placement test before and
after the learning module:
