Describing the accuracy of olympic marksmen


Discuss the below:

Q: Describing how the accuracy of Olympic marksmen can be affected by heartbeats. Pelton (1983) reported that Olympic - level marksmen shoot much better if they fire between heartbeats rather than squeezing the trigger during a heartbeat. The small vibrate caused by a heartbeat seems to be sufficient to affect the Marksmen's aim. The following hypothetical data demonstrate this phenomenon. A sample of n = 8 Olympic marksmen fire series of rounds while a researcher records heartbeat. For each marksman, the total score is recorded for shots fired during heartbeats and for shots fired between heartbeats. Do these data indicate a significant difference? Test with α= .05.
