Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Hypotheses

We are testing the claim about the mean of the differences for a population of paired data. The hypotheses are defined as follows:

  • Null Hypothesis: \[ H_0: \mu_d \geq 0 \]
  • Alternative Hypothesis: \[ H_a: \mu_d < 0 \]
Step 2: Calculate the Standard Error

The standard error (\(SE\)) is calculated using the formula: \[ SE = \frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{1.3}{\sqrt{19}} \approx 0.2982 \]

Step 3: Calculate the Test Statistic

The test statistic (\(t\)) is calculated using the formula: \[ t = \frac{\bar{d} - \mu_0}{SE} = \frac{-2.3 - 0}{0.2982} \approx -7.7119 \]

Step 4: Calculate the P-value

For a left-tailed test, the p-value is determined as follows: \[ P = T(z) = 0.0 \]

Step 5: Decision Based on P-value

We compare the p-value with the significance level (\(\alpha = 0.10\)):

  • Since \(P = 0.0 < 0.10\), we reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion

There is statistically significant evidence to support the claim that the mean difference is less than 0.

Final Answer

The answer is \(\boxed{H_0: \mu_d \geq 0 \text{ and } H_a: \mu_d < 0}\).
