Use paired data tests - graph-supported reasoning

For paired data in a school survey, the mean difference is \(2.4\), the standard deviation of differences is \(1.9\), and \(n=15\). Calculate the paired test statistic. Enter the requested value and choose the interpretation that matches the result.

Worked practice: result and interpretation

Calculate the requested result first, then choose the interpretation that follows from it.
