Document Summary
These tell us about a population where our sample contains two measurements for each individual, and we are interested in testing the average difference between the two readings. Examples: attendance in the early morning vs. early afternoon, cholesterol before and after a treatment, price of items at shaws" and johnny"s foodmaster. We calculate confidence intervals and t statistics in much the same way as last week, except we are looking at the differences in the two data points, and treating this as the (single pop. ) sample. Make sure you can find them on your yellow card-they are under population mean. Remember- n is the number of individuals, not the total number of measurements! The d reminds us we are examining differences. Often, data entered in two columns is an indicator that this might be an appropriate test for that situation.
