In a study of memory recall, ten students from a large statistics and data analysis class were
selected at random and given 15 minutes to memorize a list of 20 nonsense words. Each was
asked to list as many of the words as he or she could remember both 1 hour and 24 hours later.
The data are as shown in Table 1. Is there evidence to suggest the mean number of words recalled
after 1 hour exceeds the mean recall after 24 hours by more than 3? Use a significance level of
0.05.
