A music therаpist studying relаxаtiоn was interested in whether the degree оf relaxatiоn in a stressful situation could be improved by listening to classical music. To investigate the issue, the therapist obtained relaxation scores for ten participants who were about to take their Introductory Statistics final exam. The participants then were asked to lie quietly on the floor of a carpeted room with their eyes closed, and listen to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. After the music finished playing, a second relaxation score was obtained for each participant. The results are summarized in the table below. Note: Higher scores indicate greater relaxation.

What does this suggest concerning a test of the null hypothesis that the population mean difference is equal to zero against the non-directional alternative that the population mean difference is not equal to zero?
