Explanation:
Calculate the differences:
differences = after - before
calculates the difference
between each pair of measurements.Perform the paired t-test:
OneSampleTTest(differences)
performs a one-sample
t-test on the calculated differences. This is equivalent to a paired
t-test, as we are testing whether the mean difference between the pairs
is significantly different from zero.Extract the p-value: pvalue(t_test)
extracts the p-value from the test result.
Print the results and interpretation: This part remains the same as in the previous example.
This approach directly utilizes the pairwise differences for the paired t-test, which is often considered more concise and mathematically accurate.
