A high school science teacher decided to give a series of lectures on current events. To determine if the lectures had any effect on awareness of current events, an exam was given to the class before the lectures, and a similar exam was given after the lectures. The scores follow. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that the lectures made no difference against the claim that the lectures did make some difference (one way or the other).
