At the beginning of the semester, students were asked whether they felt confident in their abilities to get at least a B in the course. After the midterm exam, the same sample of students were asked if they were confident in their abilities to get at least a B in the course. The data presented in the table below:
Did students' perceptions of being able to get at least a B in the course change after taking the midterm? State the null and alternative hypotheses. Display appropriate numerical data. What test is appropriate for testing this hypothesis? Assess whether the assumptions of this test are appropriate. Run the most appropriate test given the reasonableness of the assumptions. Present the test statistic and p-value. Interpret the results in the context of the problem.
