Question: A student investigated whether husbands tend to be older than their wives when they marry. The following data are from a dependent sample of 24 couples who obtained their marriage licenses in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1993.

Using an appropriate two-sample test and a significance level of \[\alpha =0.01\], determine whether these sample data provide evidence that the population mean age of husbands exceeds that of wives. You must state the hypotheses (5 points), determine the test statistic (5 points), and either the P-value(s) or critical value(s) (5 points). Finally, you must clearly state your conclusion (5 points). Round all answers to two decimal places.
