Please help me with the following statistics problem   A long-distance runner wants to compare the durability of two running shoe brands: Brand A and Brand B. Instead of testing them separately, 15 runners simultaneously wear Brand A on the left   foot and Brand B on the right foot during training runs.   The runner continues training as usual and tracks how many kilometers each shoe lasts before showing significant wear (e.g., loss of cushioning, outsole damage). Since both shoes experience the   same runner, terrain, and conditions, any lifespan difference can be attributed to the shoe brand rather than external factors.   Test whether Brand A running shoes have a significantly shorter lifespan than Brand B when worn under the same conditions by the same runner.   CSV:   "","A","B"   "A",197,193   "B",230,229   "C",179,180   "D",206,205   "E",182,180   "F",141,142   "G",207,207   "H",116,112   "I",78,79   "J",0,0   "K",213,212   "L",86,83   "M",181,181   "N",85,79   "O",73,71 The…

A code of 0 indicates the person does not have a gambling problem, a code of 1 indicates the person does have a gambling problem. The data is found in the accompanying data file. Download.csv file To count the frequencies of 0 and 1 in each sample, use the table(your_dataset_name$ column's name) function. Make sure to replace "your_dataset_name" with the actual name of your data file and specify the correct column name. For example: table(file60c5d1286c735$ CompletedPSEducation) Let PNOPS represent the proportion of persons not completing some form of post-secondary education who have a gambling problem, and PPs be the proportion of persons having completed post-secondary education who have a gambling problem.
