Determine the decision criterion for rejecting the null hypothesis in the given hypothesis test; i.e., describe the values of the test statistic that would result in rejection of the null hypothesis.
We wish to compare the means of two populations using paired observations. Suppose that:
d = 3.125, Sd = 2.911, and n = 8, and that you wish to test the following hypothesis at the 10 percent level of significance:
H0: μd = 0 against H1:μd > 0.
What decision rule would you use?
Reject?

A random sample of 16 women resulted in blood pressure levels with a standard deviation of 21.8 mm Hg. A random sample of 17 men resulted in blood pressure levels with a standard deviation of 19.5 mm Hg. Use a 0.025 significance level to test the claim that blood pressure levels for women have a larger variance than those for men. Find sd.
