Question

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in their total ventilation when the subjects
are at rest and when performing imaginary muscular work if hypnosis is induced between the two
phases.
Do not use R. 

In a study of hypnotic suggestion, 16 male volunteers were randomly allocated to a treatment group
and a control group. Each subject participated in a two-phase experimental session. In the first phase,
respiration was measured while the subject was awake and at rest. In the second phase, the subject
was told to imagine that he was performing muscular work, and respiration was measured again. For
subjects in the treatment group, hypnosis was induced between the first and second phases; thus, the
suggestion to imagine muscular work was "hypnotic suggestion" for treatment subjects and "waking
suggestion" for control subjects. The table below shows the measurements of total ventilation (liters
of air per minute per square meter of body area) for all 16 subjects.
