Answer

Confidence interval: $-0.69\lt µ_d\lt0.29$ We are 95% confident that the population mean difference is between -0.69 and 0.29.

Work Step by Step

$n=7$, so: $d.f.=n-1=6$ $level~of~confidence=(1-α).100$% $95$% $=(1-α).100$% $0.95=1-α$ $α=0.05$ $t_{\frac{α}{2}}=t_{0.025}=2.447$ (According to Table VI, for d.f. = 6 and area in right tail = 0.025) $Lower~bound=d ̅-t_{\frac{α}{2}}.\frac{s_d}{\sqrt n}=−0.2-2.447\times\frac{0.526}{\sqrt {7}}=-0.69$ $Upper~bound=d ̅+t_{\frac{α}{2}}.\frac{s_d}{\sqrt n}=−0.2+2.447\times\frac{0.526}{\sqrt {7}}=0.29$
