Hello. I need help with these parts of the problem. Thank you!

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal.
Note: For degrees of freedomd.f. not in the Student'st table, use the closestd.f. that issmaller. In some situations, this choice ofd.f. may increase theP-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.


The western United States has a number of four-lane interstate highways that cut through long tracts of wilderness. To prevent car accidents with wild animals, the highways are bordered on both sides with 12-foot-high woven wire fences. Although the fences prevent accidents, they also disturb the winter migration pattern of many animals. To compensate for this disturbance, the highways have frequent wilderness underpasses designed for exclusive use by deer, elk, and other animals. In Colorado, there is a large group of deer that spend their summer months in a region on one side of a highway and survive the winter months in a lower region on the other side. To determine if the highway has disturbed deer migration to the winter feeding area, the following data were gathered on a random sample of 10 wilderness districts in the winter feeding area. RowB represents the average January deer count for a 5-year period before the highway was built, and rowA represents the average January deer count for a 5-year period after the highway was built. The highway department claims that the January population has not changed. Test this claim against the claim that the January population has dropped. Use a 5% level of significance. Units used in the table are hundreds of deer. (Letd =B −A.)
