reducing eye fatigue.
To carry out her research, Brenda seeks 12 volunteer students, who have never practised
yoga before, to join her yoga classes.
She asks each student to complete a questionnaire before they start her classes.
In her questionnaire, the first question is as follows.
Indicate below your current level of eye fatigue by placing a cross on the line.
A score of 0 indicates no eye fatigue and a score of 10 indicates severe eye fatigue.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
After attending her classes for three months, these 12 students are asked again to
complete the same questionnaire.
Both scores for the first question, for each of these 12 students, are given in Figure 1
Brenda believes that regular yoga practice can reduce the average eye fatigue score.
(a) Making any necessary assumptions, carry out a paired t-test to investigate whether
there is evidence to support Brenda’s belief.
