My science fair project is trying to determine if there is a significant 
difference in reaction time between a person's dominant and non-dominant 
hand.  I have data on 32 subjects.  The delta is measured in thousandths 
of a second.  What is the range of significance?  The differences range 
from .01 to .79.
