Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a software patch in reducing system failures over a six-month period. Results for randomly selected installations are shown in Table 10.21. The 鈥渂efore鈥� value is matched to an 鈥渁fter鈥� value, and the differences are calculated. The differences have a normal distribution. Test at the 1% significance level.

What conclusion can you draw about the software patch?

A study is done to determine if students in the California state university system take longer to graduate than students enrolled in private universities.
