An instructor for a test preparation course claims that the course will improve the test scores of students. The table shows the critical reading scores for 14 students the first two times they took the test. Before taking the test for the second time, the students took the instructor's course to try to improve their critical reading test scores. At a = 0.01, is there enough evidence to support the instructor's claim?

The claim is "The students' critical reading test scores the second time they took the test." Let u, be the hypothesized mean of the students' first score minus their second score. State H, and H,.

Fail to reject the null hypothesis. (f) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Choose the correct answer below. O A. At the 1% significance level, there is evidence that the students' critical reading scores got worse the second time they took the test. B. At the 1% significance level, there is not enough evidence that the students' critical reading scores improved the second time they took the test. OC. The sample was not large enough to make a conclusion. O D.
