N.B. Your analysis should consider appropriate diagnostic tests and the risk of committing a Type I error.
b) The CHD patients were measured 1 week later in terms of their treadmill exercise time (see re-test data below). Assess the hypothesis that there is no difference between the repeated measurements.
