The calculated t-value of -2.086 falls within the range of values for which the null hypothesis should not be rejected at the 5% level, as it is between -2.101 and 2.101 (the critical values for a two-tailed test with 9 degrees of freedom). Thus, we cannot conclude that there is a significant difference between the means of the two matched samples.
