Problem 2

A psychologist measures the difference in reaction time (in seconds) for 2020 participants before and after consuming caffeine. The mean difference (after - before\(\text{after - before}\)) is 0.820.82 seconds, with a standard deviation of 1.201.20 seconds. Assume the differences are normally distributed with no outliers. Test at the 0.050.05 significance level whether the mean difference in reaction time is greater than 00.
