Answer:

Test statistic = - 2.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Table of the sample data is attached below :

Using a dependent sample t test :

H0 : μd = 0

H0 : μd ≠ 0

The difference in the 6th and 13th date data is :

Difference, d = -4, -6, -3, -1, 1, -7

The sample size, n = 6

The mean of d ; μd = Σd/ n = - 3.667

Standard deviation of difference, Sd = 3.011

The test statistic : μd/(Sd/√n)

Test statistic = - 3.33 / (3.011/√6)

Test statistic = - 3.33 / 1.2292356

Test statistic = - 2.709

Test statistic = - 2.71
