In this example we are dealing with paired data.

\n

\\(H_0:\\) \\(\\mu_d=0\\)    i.e. The mean zinc concentration for surface water and bottom water is the same.

\n

\\(H_1:\\) \\(\\mu_d<0\\)    i.e  The mean zinc concentration for surface water is less than the mean zinc concentration for bottom water.

\n

We must evaluate the differences: for each pair of values \\(d=x_1-x_2\\)

\n

\\(\\var{diff}\\)

\n

We now have a sample of \\(n=\\var{sample_size}\\) differences.

\n

Recall:

\n

the formula for the mean difference:    \\(\\overline{d}=\\frac{\\sum {d}}{n}=\\var{diff_mean}\\)

\n

the formula for the standard deviation:   \\(s=\\sqrt{\\frac{\\sum{(d-\\overline{d})^2}}{n-1}}=\\var{diff_stdev}\\)

\n

the formula for the t-statistic:   \\(t=\\frac{\\overline{d}}{\\frac{s}{\\sqrt{n}}}=\\frac{\\var{diff_mean}}{\\frac{\\var{diff_stdev}}{\\sqrt{12}}}=\\var{test_statistic}\\)

\n

The t-table value will be for a one-tailed test and will have \\(n-1=11\\) degrees of freedom. Because of the alternative hypothesis the t-value chosen will be negative. 

\n

\\[\\begin{array}{r|rrrr}&0.10&0.05&0.01\\\\\\hline11&-\\var{t90}&-\\var{t95}&-\\var{t99}\\end{array}\\]

\n

Compare the test statistic with the t-table values and choose your conclusion.
