An SAT prep course claims to increase student scores by more than 60 points, on average. To test this claim, 9 students whio have previously taken the \( 5 A T \) are randorniy chosen to take the prep course. Their SAT scores before and after completing the prep course are listed in the following table. Test the claim at the \( 0.02 \) ievel of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normat. Let scores before completing the prep course be Population 1 and let scores after completing the prep course be Population 2 . Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. \[ \begin{array}{l} H_{\mathrm{e}} \div H_{a}=60 \\ H_{a}: H_{a} \quad 60 \end{array} \]
Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimai paces
