Suppose a sample of 49 paired differences that have beenrandomly selected from a normally distributed population of paireddifferences yields a sample mean d¯ =4.6d¯ =4.6 of and a samplestandard deviation of sd = 7.6.

(a) Calculate a 95 percent confidence intervalfor µd = µ1 – µ2. Can we be 95 percent confident that thedifference between µ1 and µ2 is greater than 0? (Round youranswers to 2 decimal places.)

Confidence interval = [ ,  ] ; (Click toselect)YesNo

(b) Test the null hypothesis H0: µd = 0 versusthe alternative hypothesis Ha: µd ? 0 by setting ? equal to .10,.05, .01, and .001. How much evidence is there that µd differs from0? What does this say about how µ1 and µ2 compare? (Roundyour answer to 3 decimal places.)
