A researcher was interested in the relationship between a swimmer’s hand length and corresponding time to complete the 100-meter freestyle. The researcher selected a random sample of twenty swimmers from all participants in a swim competition. Assuming all conditions for inference are met, which of the following significance tests should be used to investigate whether there is convincing evidence, at a 5 percent level of significance, that a longer hand length is associated with a decrease in the time to complete the 100-meter freestyle?       A) matched-pairs t -test for a mean difference     B)A two-sample t -test for a difference between means   C)A two-sample z -test for a difference between proportions   D) A chi-square test of independence   E)A linear regression t-test for slope
