2)   What is the estimated standard error for a paired sample t test using the following data:  Standard deviation of the difference score = 5 and n=100?

3)  In a paired samples t test, explain the logic of difference scores (why do you need to find them to make conclusions about your research) and why do you compare it to a population mean often designated as zero (µ = 0)?
