Scientists did a study to see whether a new fuel additive had any effect on gas mileage (mpg). Seven identical cars were driven for 1 week with normal gas/no additive, and then driven the next week using gas with the additive. The miles-per-gallon was recorded for each vehicle. Please use the appropriate t-test and do the calculations requested below and fill in the blanks.

For this study, the sample size n = and the mean difference MD = .
The SSD = , the variance s2D= , the standard error SMD = and your t value = .
Please report values with no decimal place if it comes out a whole number, 1 decimal if it comes out that way, and round to two decimal places when it needs to be rounded.
Use the t- table to find the correct critical t-value for this hypothesis test (use .05)? report 3 decimal places like the table
Is the difference found between groups in this study statistically significant?
