Each subject’s attitude before and after exposure to the advertisement was recorded, using a valid ten point scale. The results indicated: Subject Attitude Post Exposure Attitude Pre Exposure 1 6 4 2 8 5 3 6 6 4 4 3 5 7 2 6 6 3 7 9 6 8 7 6 9 8 5 10 8 6 Set up hypotheses and test to determine if the mean attitude toward the product increased as a result of exposure to the advertisement. (Note: these samples must be regarded as dependent, as each subject served as both a control (pre-exposure) and a treatment (post exposure). Fully interpret your result.arrow_forward
