Please help me answer the question. An image is attached below To determine if Reiki is an effective method for treating pain, a pilot study was carried out where a certified second-degree Reiki therapist provided treatment on volunteers. Pain was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) immediately before and after the Reiki treatment (Olson & Hanson, 1997). Higher numbers mean the patients had more pain. Use the box-and-whiskers plots of the before and after VAS ratings to determine if the Reiki method was effective in reducing pain. Choose the best response from the options below. No, since there were outliers for the after treatment measurements. Yes, the treatment was effective since all 3 quartiles for the after treatment measurements were smaller than the before treatment measurements. Yes, since there were outliers for the after treatment measurements. No, since there were more people in the before treatment measurements that had a higher pain scale.
