The table shows the critical reading scores for 10 students the first two times they took the SAT.

(a) Identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s), (c) Calculate  and sd, (d) Find the standardized test statistic t, (e) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, (f) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume the samples are random and dependent, and the populations are normally distributed. If convenient, use technology.
