# Question [45 marks]
In the population, the average typing speed is 42.2 words per minute (wpm). A team of scientists wanted to investigate whether using specialised typing tutor software can improve the typing speed and conducted a set of experiments which involved 36 participants. At the end of these experiments, the typing speed of each participant was recorded in the **df_typing_speed** dataframe that is given below.
`{r}
df_typing_speed <- data.frame(participant_id = 1:36,wpm = c(41.1, 43.4, 42.9, 46.8, 43.9, 40.5, 42.1, 42.7, 44.8, 40.6, 41.5, 41.2, 42.8, 41.1, 44.3, 44.8, 43.4, 45.5, 45.1, 40.8, 43, 42.7, 44.5, 42.5, 42.5, 43.6, 44, 39.5, 44, 44.9, 45, 42.8, 45.9, 46, 42.3, 40))“`At 0.05 significance level:1. Calculate the corresponding test statistic for the hypothesis test that will investigate if there is evidence to suggest that using the specialised typing tutor software will lead to a difference in typing performance.
