Actor left parenthesis years right parenthesisActor (years)	68	39	38	34	34	35	49	35	34	45

a. Use the sample data with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that for the population of ages of Best Actresses and Best​ Actors, the differences have a mean less than 0​ (indicating that the Best Actresses are generally younger than Best​ Actors). In this​ example, mu Subscript dμd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of​ data, where each individual difference d is defined as the​ actress's age minus the​ actor's age. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis​ test?
