Do students reduce study time in classes where they achieve ahigher midterm score? In a Journal of Economic Education article(Winter 2005), Gregory Krohn and Catherine O’Connor studied studenteffort and performance in a class over a semester. In anintermediate macroeconomics course, they found that “studentsrespond to higher midterm scores by reducing the number of hoursthey subsequently allocate to studying for the course.†Supposethat a random sample of n = 8 students who performed well on themidterm exam was taken and weekly study times before and after theexam were compared. The resulting data are given in Table 10.6.Assume that the population of all possible paired differences isnormally distributed.

H0: µd = versus Ha: µd ≠(b) Above we present theMINITAB output for the paired differences test. Use the output andcritical values to test the hypotheses at the .10, .05, and .01level of significance. Has the true mean study time changed? (Roundyour answer to 2 decimal places.) t = We have evidence. (c) Use thep-value to test the hypotheses at the .10, .05, and .01 level ofsignificance. How much evidence is there against the nullhypothesis? There is against the null hypothesis.
