Determine the decision criterion for rejecting the null hypothesis in the given hypothesis test; i. e., describe the values of the test statistic that would result in rejection of the null hypothesis. We wish to compare the means of two populations using paired observations. Suppose that dequals
3.125,
s Subscript d
equals2.911,
and nequals
8,
and that you wish to test the hypothesis below at the 10% level of significance. What decision rule would you use?
Upper H 0
:
mu Subscript d
equals0
against Upper H 1
:
mu Subscript d
greater than0
