1. Compare the distributions in L1 and L2 (standing pulse vs sitting pulse) using back-to-back stemplots or parallel boxplots. In particular compare the centers of the two distributions and decide whether there is evidence that the standing pulse rates are higher. Explain.
2. Analyze the data from the Matched Pair Design. Make a stemplot or dotplot of the differences and calculate their mean. Is there evidence that the standing pulse rates are higher? Explain.
3. What advantages (if any) does the Matched Pair Design have over the Completely Randomized Design?
