5. To test the belief that sons are taller than their fathers, a student randomly selects 13 fathers who have adult male children. She records the height of both the father and son in inches and obtains the data in the table given on the Lab pdf. Is this evidence that sons are taller than their fathers? Test an appropriate hypothesis using a significance level of 0.10 ( = 0.10). You can assume all conditions and assumptions are met.
Matched Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

A researcher randomly selects 6 fathers who have adult sons and
records the fathers' and sons' heights to obtain the data shown
in the table below. Test the claim that sons are taller than their
fathers at the alpha equals α=0.10 level of significance. The
normal probability plot and boxplot indicate that the differences
are approximately normally distributed with no outliers so the use
of a paired t-test is reasonable.
