Please see below. I need help with the two red boxes as my answers came back wrong. Note that the test statistics IS NOT 0.5357

Transcribed Image Text:A company that sponsors LSAT prep courses would like to be able to claim that their courses improve scores by more than 3 percentage
points. To test this, they take a sample of 8 people, have each take an initial diagnostic test, then take the prep course, and then take a
post-test after the course. The test results are below (scores are out of 100%):

Is there evidence, at an a = 0.065 level of significance, to conclude that the prep course improves scores by more than 3 percentage
points? Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test, filling in the information requested. (Arrange your data so that the standardized test
statistic is for the change from the initial test to the post-test.)
A. What test method should be used?
OA. Two Sample z
