Construct a numerical example, i.e., a data set, such that a two-sample t-test will yield an insignificant test result but a pair t-test will yield a significant test result. (For the two-sample t-test, you can either assume equal variances or unequal variances, which will not affect the key idea of this question.) I need to know how this is possible and what the basics of making this data set should be.
