Suppose x is a variable on each of two populations whose members can be paired. Further suppose that the paired-difference variable d is normally distributed. Then, for paired samples of size n, the variable
has the t-distribution with df = n – 1.
The normal null hypothesis is that μD = 0

Steps for paired t-testSteps for paired t-test::4
Step 1: The null hypothesis is H0: D = 0; the alternative hypothesis is one of the following:
Ha: D 0 Ha: D < 0 Ha: D > 0
(Two Tailed) (Left Tailed)(Right Tailed)Step 2: Decide on the significance level,
Step 3: The critical values are :±t/2 -t +t
(Two Tailed) (Left Tailed) (Right Tailed)
with df (degree of freedom)= (n – 1).

Step 4 : Compute the value of the test statistic
Step 5: If the value of the test statistic falls in the rejection region, reject H0, otherwise do not reject H0.
