9 A national athletics coach suspects that, on average, 200-metre runners' indoor times exceed their outdoor times by more than 0.1 seconds. In order to test this, the coach randomly selects eight 200 -metre runners and records their indoor and outdoor times. The results, in seconds, are shown in the table.
Runner\(A\)\(B\)\(C\)\(D\)\(E\)\(F\)\(G\)\(H\)
Indoor time21.521.820.921.221.421.421.221.0
Outdoor time21.121.720.720.921.321.021.120.8
Stating suitable hypotheses and any necessary assumption that you make, test the coach's suspicion at the 2.5\% level of significance.
