Of course, I have no way of getting this data from the real world, so I've once again relied on good old mockeru for some mock data. Remember that sprint times usually fall within a pretty small range, especially for a hundred meter dash. Also, in a paired samples T-Test, normality and outlier tests are run on the differences between the two groups. So, the first thing we need to do is compute a variable that tells us the difference. For this particular test, I want to run under the assumption that the carb is our control condition and that the protein is our test condition. I'm only doing this since we don't have a specified control condition. You could reverse this if you wanted but that'll change your variable setup in subsequence steps. You really…
