Question 35

Dr. Elizabeth conducted an investigation into the effectiveness of a new online cognitive training program on improving working memory capacity in older adults. She measured participants' working memory span using a standardized computerized test (scored from 1 to 15, where higher scores indicate better working memory) both before starting the training program (Condition A: Baseline) and after three weeks of daily training sessions (Condition B: Post-training).

Dr. Elizabeth's results are shown in Table 1 below.

Complete Table 1 and calculate the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test statistic (TTT) for Dr. Elizabeth's data.
