Test Hypotheses Regarding Matched-Pairs Data
-A local company is concerned about the number of days missed by its employees due to illness. A random sample of 10 employees is selected. The number of days absent in one year is listed below. An incentive program is offered in an attempt to decrease the number of days absent. The number of days absent in one year after the incentive program is listed below. Test the claim that the incentive program cuts down on the number of days missed by employees. Use $\alpha = 0.05$ . Assume that the distribution is normally distributed.
