To measure whether this survivor stress actually exists, the psychologist administered a stress measure to a sample of employees before and after the layoffs occurred. Evaluate whether self-reported stress increased from time $e_1$ to time $e_2$ by using a .01 significance level and a one-tailed test. $$ \begin{array}{lcc} \text { Employee } & \text { Stress Score }_1 & \text { Stress }_1 \text { Score }_2 \\ \hline \text { A } & 21 & 23 \\ \text { B } & 24 & 26 \\ \text { C } & 15 & 15 \\ \text { D } & 18 & 22 \\ \text { E } & 19 & 20 \\ \text { F } & 20 & 19 \\ \text { G } & 18 & 21 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
