**Title: Investigating Memory Performance Before and After a Meal**

**Study Overview:**
This study explores whether memory ability is better before a meal compared to after a meal. Ten individuals were assessed with memory tests both before and after eating. A higher test score indicates better memory performance.

**Data:**

| Condition   | Scores               |
|-------------|----------------------|
| Before a Meal | 79, 48, 63, 66, 59, 74, 61, 75, 71, 62 |
| After a Meal  | 72, 41, 61, 62, 64, 59, 49, 68, 56, 56 |

**Objective:**
To evaluate if there's a statistically significant difference in memory scores at a significance level of α = 0.01.

**Statistical Analysis:**

1. **Hypotheses:**
   - **Null Hypothesis (H₀):** There is no difference in population mean memory scores before and after a meal.
   - **Alternative Hypothesis (H₁):** The population mean memory score before a meal is higher than after a meal.

2. **Statistical Test:**
   - Use a paired t-test to analyze the data.

3. **Calculations Needed:**
   - **Test Statistic (t):** [Enter your calculations here, precise to three decimal places.]
   - **P-value:** [Enter your calculations here, precise to four decimal places.]

4. **Conclusion:**
   - Determine the conclusion based on the calculated p-value and compare it with α = 0.01.
   - Conclude whether the results are statistically significant or not.

5. **Interpretation of the P-value:**
   - A low p-value (< 0.01) indicates significant evidence against the null hypothesis, suggesting the memory score before a meal is higher.
   - A high p-value (≥ 0.01) indicates insufficient evidence against the null hypothesis, suggesting no significant difference.

6. **Type I Error:**
   - A Type I error in this context means concluding there is a difference in memory scores when there isn’t any.

7. **Additional Points:**
   - Evaluate the impact of possible errors, such as a 1.62% chance of a Type I error or the practical implications of the findings.

In the context of this study, interpreting the results accurately is crucial for understanding
