Many freeways have service (or logo) signs that give information on attractions, camping, lodging, food, and gas services prior to off-ramps. These signs typically do not provide information on distances. An article reported that in one investigation, six sites along interstate highways where service signs are posted were selected. For each site, crash data was obtained for a three-year period before distance information was added to the service signs and for a one-year period afterward. The number of crashes per year before and after the sign changes were as follows.

Before: 15 26 66 115 62 64
After: 16 24 42 80 78 73

The cited article included the statement A paired t test was performed to determine whether there was any change in the mean number of crashes before and after the addition of distance information on the signs. Carry out such a test. [Note: The relevant normal probability plot shows a substantial linear pattern.] a seventh site were to be randomly selected among bearing service signs, between what values predict the difference in number of crashes to lie?
