Use the following information to answer next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a juggling class. Before the class started, six subjects juggled as many balls as they could at once. After the class, the same six subjects juggled as many balls as they could.

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a software patch in reducing system failures over a six-month period. Results for randomly selected installations are shown in Table 10.21. The 鈥渂efore鈥 value is matched to an 鈥渁fter鈥 value, and the differences are calculated. The differences have a normal distribution. Test at the 1% significance level.
