Comparing scales: In an experiment to determine whether there is a systematic difference between the weights obtained with two different scales, 10 rock specimens were weighed, in grams, on each scale. The following data were obtained:

Let μ1 represent the mean weight on Scale 1 and ud= μ1-μ2

Can you conclude that the mean weight on Scale 1 is less than the mean weight on Scale 2?

Use the a=0.10 level of significance.
