hist(Differences,

the histogram appears negatively skewed and Kurtosis is tall

There are few outliers and seems far from the whisker

The p-value was below .05, which means we should proceed with the Wilcoxon Sign Rank.

There was a significant difference in the dependent variable between before program (Mdn = 47.24) and after program (Mdn = 40.84), V = 620, p = 0.000. The effect size was very large (r₍rb₎ = .84
