    To use a paired t-test

    Step-by-step explanation:

    t-tests are essentially tests carried out to compare two different groups to check if there is a major difference in their performances or results which may be related in certain characteristics.

    A paired (correlated) t-test is used when there are matched pair of similar units or instances of repeated measurements.

    In this case, Mary has to use a paired t-test because the samples (students) have high similarity in characteristics. The students in question has to be from the same class to test her hypothesis (similar characteristics).
