Take the differences before-after. Order the data smallest to largest, ignoring the negative signs. Rank the data from 1 to 7
Observation 5 had the values Before = 81 and After 78. What is the difference before - after of these values?
What rank will observation 5 receive?
Add up all the ranks that have a negative difference, T . What is the value of T?
Add up all the ranks that have a positive difference,, T+. What is the value of T+?
What is the test statistic, T?
