    1. Ten accountants took a test before and after undergoing a month of intensive coaching. Their scores on the first and fourth tests are presented. 2. A t-test was conducted to determine if there was a statistically significant improvement between the scores on the first and fourth tests at the 5% significance level. 3. The calculated t-value of -1.937 falls below the critical value of -1.833, so the null hypothesis that there is no improvement can be rejected. It can be concluded that the coaching led to a statistically significant improvement in scores.
