a. Use the sample data with a 0.05significance level to test the claim that for the population of heights for presidents and their main opponents, the differences have a mean greater than 0 cm.
In this example, μd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the president's height minus their main opponent's height. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test?
Identify the test statistic.
Identify the P-value.
b. Construct the confidence interval that could be used for the hypothesis test described in part (a). What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?
The confidence interval is ___ cm<μd<___ cm.
