A student who did volunteer work at an animal shelter wanted to see if cats really respond aggressively to catnip (Jovan, Stats magazine, 1999). Using a sample of 15 cats, she recorded how many "negative interactions" (such as hissing or clawing) each cat engaged in during a 15-minute period prior to being given a teaspoon of catnip and also in the following 15-minute period. Her conjecture was that the number of negative interactions would increase after the introduction of the catnip.

?A test of significance was conducted to see if there was an increase in the average number of negative interactions after catnip was introduced. The researcher determined the t-statistic was 3.24 from this test (where a positive results means more negative interactions).

?Based on the t-statistic do you have strong evidence that catnip will increase the average number of negative interactions?
