Please conduct a step by step of these statistical tests on separate sheets of Microsoft Excel. If the calculations in Microsoft Excel are incorrect, the null and alternative hypotheses, as well as the conclusions drawn from them, will be meaningless and will not receive any points
3. Paired T-Test: A company implemented a training program to improve employee performance. To evaluate the effectiveness of the program, the company recorded the test scores of 25 employees before and after the training. Determine if the training program is effective in terms of scores of participants before and after the training.
(Hints: The null can be about maintaining status-quo or no difference among groups; if alternative hypothesis is non-directional, use the two-tailed p-value from excel file to make a decision about rejecting or not rejecting the null)

- 4. Dynamic regression (adapted from Q10.4 in Hyndman & Athanasopoulos) This exercise concerns aus_accommodation: the total quarterly takings from accommodation and the room occupancy level for hotels, motels, and guest houses in Australia, between January 1998 and June 2016. Total quarterly takings are in millions of Australian dollars. a. Perform inflation adjustment for Takings (using the CPI column), creating a new column in the tsibble called Adj Takings. b. For each state, fit a dynamic regression model of Adj Takings with seasonal dummy variables, a piecewise linear time trend with one knot at 2008 Q1, and ARIMA errors. c.
