Answer

We fail to reject the Null hypothesis.

Work Step by Step

Here we have α = 0.01 and n = 8. df = 8 - 1 = 7 Using the classical approach, we have: $t = \frac{\bar d - µ_{d}}{s_{d}/\sqrt n}$ $ = \frac{-1.075 - 0}{3.833/\sqrt 8} = \frac{-1.075}{1.355} = -0.793$ Using Student's t distribution table, we have: t = 3.499 Hence, the rejection region will be all values smaller than -3.499 and greater than 3.499. Since -3.499 < -0.793 < 3.499, we fail to reject the Null Hypothesis.
