Scores in the first and fourth (final) rounds for a sample of 20 golfers who competed in PGA tournaments are shown in the following table. Suppose you would like to determine whether the mean score for the first round of PGA Tour
event is significantly different than the mean score for the fourth and final round. Does the pressure of playing in the final round cause scores to go up? Or does the increased player concentration cause scores to come down? Enter
negative values as negative numbers.
