A golf instructor is interested in determining if a new technique for improving players’ golf scores is effective. The instructor takes four (4) new students and records their 18-hole scores before learning the technique and then after having taken the class. The instructor conducts a hypothesis test. The data are as the table.
| Player 1 | Player 2 | Player 3 | Player 4 | |
| Mean score before class | 83 | 78 | 93 | 87 |
| Mean score after class | 80 | 80 | 86 | 86 |
