You wish to test the following claim (Ha\displaystyle {H}_{{a}}) at a significance level of α=0.10\displaystyle \alpha={0.10}. d\displaystyle {d} denotes the mean of the difference between pre-test and post-test scores.     

Ho:μd=0\displaystyle {H}_{{o}}:\mu_{{d}}={0}
Ha:μd>0\displaystyle {H}_{{a}}:\mu_{{d}}>{0}

You believe the population of difference scores is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain pre-test and post-test samples for n=22\displaystyle {n}={22} subjects. The average difference (post - pre) is d=19.4\displaystyle \overline{{d}}={19.4} with a standard deviation of the differences of sd=37.9\displaystyle {s}_{{d}}={37.9}.
