Constructor Detail

### CIMatchedPairs

    public CIMatchedPairs(double confidenceLevel,
                          int n,
                          double mu,
                          double s)

  Constructor.

  Parameters:
    `confidenceLevel` - confidence level, between 0 and 1
    `n` - sample size (number of matched pairs)
    `mu` - sample mean of differences
    `s` - sample standard deviation of differences

Method Detail

### marginOfError

    public double marginOfError()

  Returns the margin of error. E = t_(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n).

  Specified by:
    `marginOfError` in class `ConfidenceInterval`
  Returns:
    margin of error

### criticalValue

    public double criticalValue()

  Returns the critical value corresponding to the given confidence level. Uses the t distribution to find t_(alpha/2), where alpha is the significance level (1 - confidence level).

  Specified by:
    `criticalValue` in class `ConfidenceInterval`
  Returns:
    critical value
