The data corresponded to an experiment in which systolic pressure is studied. The Patients are advised
to do 30-minute brisk walking exercise every morning. They have been evaluated at two different times.
(0: pre-test and 1: after 6 months) the variable to be compared is the systolic blood pressure (SBP) The
data corresponded to an experiment in which systolic pressure is studied. The Patients are advised to do
30-minute brisk walking exercise every morning. They have been evaluated at two different times. (0:
pre-test and 1: after 6 months) the variable to be compared is the systolic blood pressure. The
researcher found out that the distribution of data is non-normal. Is there a significant progress in the
patient’s SBP from pre-test and after intervention? (Assume that the data is normally distributed)

Interpretation:

The results show a significant change between the pre-test and six months
afterwards. Depending on the patient's systolic blood pressure for six months, a 30-
minute strenuous walking workout each morning (p-0.014). Additionally, the 30-minute
brisk walking exercise resulted in a reduction in the patient's systolic blood pressure as
seen by the mean and standard deviation decline between the pretest and after the 6-
month intervention.
