    A study compared the peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR) of 9 asthmatics before and after walking on a cold winter day. The PEFRs were recorded for each subject before and after the walk. A t-test was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference between the PEFRs before and after the walk. The null hypothesis that the mean PEFRs before and after the walk were equal was rejected, leading to the conclusion that walking on a cold winter day significantly reduces asthmatic PEFRs.

    SE 3.2
    Name: Razul M. Acoy 2Bscrim-A
    Comparison of peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) before and after a walk on a cold
    winter's day for a random sample of 9 asthmatics. Enter two columns in the
    workbook,one of PEFR's before the walk and the other of PEFR's after the walk. In
    this exampleeach row must represent the same subject:

    Null hypothesis: (µA= µB)


    Alternative hypothesis: (µA≠
    µB)

    Subject Before After 𝐷 𝐷2


    1 312 300
    2 242 201
    3 340 232
    4 388 312

    6 254 256
    7 391 328
    8 402 330
    9 290 231

    Computation for 𝑡.
    Decision: Accept null hypothesis

    Conclusion: this means that we will reject the null hypotheses and conclude that there
    is a significant difference between PEFR before and after walk on a cold winter day’s.
