The sample standard deviation of the differences between the pretreatment and posttreatment KPS scores is 10.787. Using a 0.05 significance level, you need to test the claim that interventional bronchoscopic therapy improves functional impairment, i.e., that the KPS score is higher after the therapy.

Pretreatment (%) –> 90; 80; 90; 90; 90; 90; 80; 90; 50; 60; 50

Posttreatment (%) –> 100; 100; 100; 100; 100; 100; 100; 100; 80; 100; 80
