Question 2 of 20
0.0/ 1.0 Points
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:
