    This document describes two examples to test if there is a significant difference between paired samples before and after a treatment using a paired t-test. [1] The first example looks at mercury levels in fish before and after a pollution event. It provides the data and asks to state the hypotheses, perform the paired t-test, and explain the conclusion. [2] The second example examines test scores of students before and after a study module. It provides the score data and again asks to state hypotheses, perform the paired t-test, and draw conclusions about the impact of the module.

    _____________________________________________________________________________
    1. The concentration of mercury in the tissues of 30 fish (subjects) was measured before and after a
    known pollution event. The Hg concentrations in an individual fish before and after the pollution
    event are given in the table below.

    i. Write the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.
    ii. Perform the paired t-test.
    iii. Explain the statistical decision based on paired t-test.

    2. Suppose a 20 students were given a test before studying a particular module and then again after
    completing the module. We want to find out if, in general, our teaching leads to improvements in
    students’ knowledge/skills (i.e. test scores). Results of the sample of students are given below.
