The amount of oxygen consumption was measured in seven individuals over two periods of time while sitting with their eyes closed. During the first period, they listened to an exciting adventure story; during the second period of time, they heard restful music. The researcher is not sure whether participants will consume more or less oxygen during the story compared with the music. Here are their results:
